Research on the impact of different teaching methods on students’ spatial ability and three-dimensional geometric thinking [PDF]
Spatial ability is a fundamental cognitive skill that is a strong predictor of success in STEM education. Three-dimensional geometric thinking is the formalized expression of spatial ability when solving three-dimensional geometric problems.

Analysis of the Geometric Thinking Stage of Madrasah Tsanawiyah Students Based on Van Hiele's Theory
In the process of learning mathematics, especially geometry, teachers must pay attention to the level of ability possessed by students. Van Hiele suggests that there are five stages of thinking that students will go through in learning geometry: the ...

A geometrical framework for thinking about proteins
Abstract We present a model, based on symmetry and geometry, for proteins. Using elementary ideas from mathematics and physics, we derive the geometries of discrete helices and sheets. We postulate a compatible solvent‐mediated emergent pairwise attraction that assembles these building blocks, while respecting their individual ...

The geometric thinking in Mathematics degree: an analysis in the light of Duval and Van-Hiele
In this research, we analyze the geometric thinking of undergraduate mathematics students from a university in Pernambuco. We are based on Duval's Theory of Semiotic Representation Records (1995), which presents a theoretical model on cognitive ...
