Visual Processing on Graphics Task: The Case of a Street Map
Logan, Tracy; Lowrie, Tom
Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, v18 n4 p8-13 2013
Tracy Logan and Tom Lowrie argue that while little attention is given to visual imagery and spatial reasoning within the Australian Curriculum, a significant proportion of National Assessment Program--Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) tasks require high levels of visuospatial reasoning. This article includes teaching ideas to promote visuospatial reasoning in the primary classroom.
