Spatial reasoning via 2D and 3D models
featuring Dr. Samuel Obara

On November 12th, Dr. Samuel Obara visited from Texas State University to speak with us about "the efficacy of teaching spatial reasoning skills via 2D and 3D solids." We did many activites and spent a lot of time visualizing the transformations of 2D and 3D objects in space. We also learned about pentominoes and used them in various puzzles and challenges.
