Prediction of Developmental Stages in the Representation of Regular Space Figures.

Mitchelmore, Michael C.

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v11 n2 p83-93 Mar 1980

A developmental sequence of stages in the representation of regular space figures, first obtained in Jamaica, was cross-validated on a U.S. sample. Discussion centers on the relation between representational ability and perceptual development and on the variation in the difficulty of drawing different figures. (Author/MK)
