How do you use spatial thinking? - Answers

Spatial thinking is how one mentally visualizes objects in three dimensional space. A good spatial thinker is able to, for example, see a 6-sided die in his or her head, think about where the 6 is, roll the die over, and know that the one is on the opposite side. A good spatial thinker can also be driving a car, knowing he/she is headed east, and be able to mentally rotate themselves to head west, and figure out where important streets and landmarks are relative to that new direction. The USE of your spatial thinking is something entirely up to the way that you think, however. You can hone it by doing some practice exercises, such as the ones above, especially when driving or walking down the street, and you could also simply use a search engine to find some exercises to try.
