Abstract
ABSTRACT This chapter describes how a design research project that develops children's 3-D visualization capacity fosters creative teaching and teaching for creativity. Through the spatial operation capacity framework (van Niekerk, 1997; Yakimanskaya, 1991) that guides the development of the mathematics in this study, children are exposed to activities that require them to act on a variety of physical and mental objects and transformations to develop spatial skills. Children use 3-D figures, 2-D representations of 3-D figures, verbal representations, and a dynamic computer interface to solve spatial problems. The project is enacted in a dual-language elementary school that serves a typical urban population.
