This work is based on a geometrical problem concerning comparison between surfaces, presented to 58 pupils 10-11 years old. We present a worksheet aimed at revealing children’s reasoning about visualisation in geometry. We compare the ways in which various problems are tackled by two different groups of students: Group E (experimental) and Group T (traditional). We conclude with some observations about teaching geometry and suggestions for its improvement.

Abstract
This work is based on a geometrical problem concerning comparison between surfaces, presented to 58 pupils 10-11 years old. We present a worksheet aimed at revealing children’s reasoning about visualisation in geometry. We compare the ways in which various problems are tackled by two different groups of students: Group E (experimental) and Group T (traditional). We conclude with some observations about teaching geometry and suggestions for its improvement.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
