Abstract
The NSW Department of Education and Training (DET) developed an innovative program, Count Me Into Space to improve the quality of space mathematics in K-2 classrooms. The package was based on research into spatial thinking and visualization of 2D and 3D shapes (e.g., Owens & Clements, 1998, Presmeg, 1997). The materials were initially developed by myself in consultation with NSW mathematics officers and consultants. The challenge was to incorporate a large body of research into effective learning experiences for students.
