Thinking about visualisation in education.
About. This is an Open University web tutorial with exercises to explore and explain visualisation. Imagery is a powerful force for perception and understanding. Being able to see something mentally is a common metaphor for understanding it. Some people can close their eyes and “see” a picture but, for others, it has much more to do with imagining, than seeing. Try to picture a cube, the seven-times table, a graph of sin x.
Pedagogical content. This unit looks at visualisation(ta) as it relates to mathematics, focusing upon how it can be used to improve learning. It also identifies ways in which to make more use of visualisation within the classroom. (edit)
