Spatial thinking is an activity that we do throughout our lives and across many settings, to understand problems and seek solutions. The practice can be so automatic that it becomes deceptively obvious, but when it is not done carefulli, it can lead to chaos and confusion. In this brief and accessible guide, we see how spatial concepts help us think across the grograhies of our life spaces, physcial and social spaces, and intellectual space. Spatial thinking may be particualarly essential within the fields of science, tecvhnology, engineering, and math, but in reality it is an important part of everyone's living experience. Spatial thinking is a form of learning how to learn.
