This book develops the theoretical perspective on visuospatial
reasoning in ecocultural contexts, granting insights on how the
language, gestures, and representations of different cultures
reflect visuospatial reasoning in context. Â For a number of
years, two themes in the field of mathematics education have run
parallel with each other with only a passing acquaintance.
 These two areas are the psychological perspective on
visuospatial reasoning and ecocultural perspectives on mathematics
education. Â This volume examines both areas of research and
explores the intersection of these powerful ideas. Â In
addition, there has been a growing interest in sociocultural
aspects of education and in particular that of Indigenous education
in the field of mathematics education. Â There has not,
however, been a sound analysis of how environmental and cultural
contexts impact visuospatial reasoning, although it was noted as
far back as the 1980s when Alan Bishop developed his duality of
visual processing and interpreting visual information. Â This
book provides this analysis and in so doing not only articulates
new and worthwhile lines of research, but also uncovers and makes
real a variety of useful professional approaches in teaching school
mathematics. Â With a renewed interest in visuospatial
reasoning in the mathematics education community, this volume is
extremely timely and adds significantly to current literature on
the topic.
