Complete answers will include the following: Spatial sense involves both visualization and orientation factors (Owens, 1990). Visualization is the ability to mentally picture how objects appear under some rigid motion or other transformation. Orientation includes the ability to note positions of objects and to maintain an accurate perception of the objects under different orientation. Teachers can help students develop spatial sense by involving them in hands-on activities in which they experience, describe, and reflect on geometric concepts.
