Abstract
This study investigated the effectiveness of spatial-visualization-based instruction on the mathematical problem-solving performance of 35 mathematics education students using one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. It also aimed to describe how spatial visualization is applied in solving mathematical problems. The findings of the study revealed that spatial-visualization-based instruction improved the mathematical problem-solving performance of students. The spatial-visualization ability can be applied in solving mathematical problems.

Summary
Oftentimes, students find difficulties in learning the subject because of the complexity of using symbols and computations. Students tend to forget previously learned concepts and skills that are necessary for the new skills to be learned. Students lack the needed knowledge and comprehension to advance to the level of study. Since mastery of mathematics is a key literacy component that influences children’s success in education and in future society [1], teachers focused on enabling children to succeed at school [2]. Others are creative in their thinking and in their approaches [4] as cited in [5] in order for their students to learn better. Teachers must assist students by designing and developing instruction which
