Spatial sense is an intuitive feel for shape and space.
It involves the concepts of traditional geometry, including an ability to recognize, visualize, represent, and transform geometric shapes. Geometry is all around us in art, nature, and the things we make. Students of geometry can apply their spatial sense and knowledge of the properties of shapes and space to the real world. Explore spatial relationships such as the direction, orientation, and perspectives of objects in space, their relative shapes and sizes, and the relations between objects and their shadows or projections. Explore relationships among shapes, such as congruence, symmetry, similarity, and self-similarity.
