Abstract
Think3d!, an embodied spatial training program, used origami and paper engineering to train elementary students’ spatial skills and impact their math learning. Results showed gains on spatial thinking assessments and real-world math problems. Think3d! provides a means to train a fundamental cognitive skill, which may have implications for mathematics learning.
