Sun, Yan – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2023
Rich research evidence supporting the strong, positive connections between spatial ability and mathematical ability has been well documented. Spatial tools, such as computer-aided-design (CAD) software, have been increasingly utilized and researched for promoting mathematics learning in K--12 (kindergarten to 12th grade). Tinkercad, a free online…
