Key ideas in teaching mathematics: Geometric and spatial reasoning
This short article points to the key ideas in teaching the mathematics of geometry in Key Stage 3 (KS3) of the curriculum in England for 11-14 year olds. Research indicates that this involves paying attention to the two closely entwined aspects of geometry, the spatial aspects, and the aspects that relate to reasoning with geometrical theory, across both 2D (plane) and 3D (solid) geometry.

Abstract

This short article points to the key ideas in teaching the mathematics of geometry in Key Stage 3 (KS3) of the curriculum in England for 11-14 year olds. Research indicates that this involves paying attention to the two closely entwined aspects of geometry, the spatial aspects, and the aspects that relate to reasoning with geometrical theory, across both 2D (plane) and 3D (solid) geometry.
