• Resumen

  • Developing the spatial sense of the students can take many shapes in education. In geometry, students are given an avenue to develop their skills in reasoning and in problem-solving using tangible objects. Geometry problems provide a natural connection to visual arts which can help increase their motivation and engagement. A unique topic in geometry that allows students to express their creativity in mathematics education while integrating the knot theory is also introduced.
