Connecting mathematics learning through spatial reasoning

该项目旨在创建一个基于空间推理的框架，以确定数学学习、教学和课程的途径。实现澳大利亚的创新和科学议程从根本上取决于转变国家的数学能力。空间推理是一个新兴的跨学科领域，对所有人类的学习都是不可或缺的，特别是在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域。该项目将绘制连接空间和数学概念的未知复杂系统图，并设计、实施和评估一项针对小学生的纵向干预研究，包括跟踪高能力学生。这将导致更高技能和适应能力的公民。

This project aims to create a framework based on spatial reasoning that identifies pathways for mathematics learning, pedagogy and curriculum. Realising Australia’s Innovation and Science Agenda fundamentally rests on transforming the nation's mathematical capacity. Spatial reasoning, an emerging transdisciplinary area, is integral to all human learning, particularly for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. This project will map the unknown complex systems linking spatial and mathematical concepts, and design, implement and evaluate a longitudinal intervention study of primary students, including tracking of highly able students. This will lead to more highly skilled and adaptive citizens.
