Reviews
The eleven entries are divided in two sections, the first focusing on measurement and development of spatial ability, and the second on research and practice. ... Visual-spatial Ability in STEM Education: Transforming Research into Practice is a good read for those interested in spatial reasoning research, for mathematics educators wanting to make an impact on children's development of spatial reasoning, and for all who work with STEM students and programs. (Cindia Davis Stewart, MAA Reviews, maa.org, July, 2017)
