The Connection Between Spatial Reasoning Ability and Math
Spatial training for kids improves math skills
"The researchers trained 6- to 8-year-olds in mental rotation, a spatial ability, and found their scores on addition and subtraction problems improved significantly. The mental rotation training involved imagining how two halves of an object would come together to make a whole, when the halves have been turned at an angle."
