Description of Presentation:
In this research, we examined the relationship between a teacher’s judgment of grade three and four students’ geometry and spatial ability (i.e., grades), three spatial ability tasks (Water-Level-Task, the Rod-and-Frame Test and the Mental-Rotations-Test), and composite spatial ability score. Results suggest that teachers’ assessment practices may not be yielding sufficient insight into students’ spatial ability.
