In this book, Cathleen Heil addresses the question of how to
conceptually understand children's spatial thought in the context
of geometry education. She proposes that in order to help children
develop their abilities to successfully grasp and manipulate the
spatial relations they experience in their everyday lives, spatial
thought should not only be addressed in written or tabletop
settings at school. Instead, geometry education should also focus
on settings involving real space, such as during reasoning with
maps. In a first part of this book, she theoretically addresses the
construct of spatial thought at different scales of space from a
cognitive psychological point of view and shows that maps can be
rich sources for spatial thinking. In a second part, she proposes
how to measure children's spatial thought in a paper-and-pencil
setting and map-based setting in real space. In a third, empirical
part, she examines the relations between children's spatial thought
in those two settings both at a manifest and latent level.
