This resource features primary and intermediate educators and their students, as they focus on spatial reasoning and spatial visualization to support learning in the number sense and numeration strand of the curriculum. In this resource, primary and intermediate educators 'spatialize' the number and operations curriculum expectations and then engage in the three-part lessons that they subsequently plan. Using concrete materials and/or digital tools, students spatially solve the problems. The learning is highlighted through the lens of seven of the spatial reasoning aspects identified in Paying Attention to Spatial Reasoning and applies to students at all grade levels. Related junior resources are included.
