Habilidades Espaciales

Usamos nuestras Habilidades Espaciales para manipular mentalmente objetos y números. Estas habilidades son fundamentales para el aprendizaje matemático posterior, particularmente para el desarrollo del sentido numérico, ya que visualizar y manipular mentalmente números en el espacio puede ser una forma efectiva de resolver problemas matemáticos.

Ideas Principales

Hay tres habilidades espaciales principales:

  • Percepción Espacial: percibir y entender visualmente la información espacial (por ejemplo, características, tamaño y posición).
  • Rotación Mental: representar y rotar mentalmente objetos 2D y 3D en el espacio rápida y precisamente.
  • Visualización Espacial: realizar manipulaciones multietapas de información presentada espacialmente.
