“…Research findings suggest that there is a positive relation between spatial ability and mathematics performance in general, especially for young children (e.g., Gilligan et al 2018;Gunderson et al 2012;Hawes et al 2019;Mix et al 2016). In addition to correlational evidence, several studies found positive effects of a spatial training intervention on children's mathematics performance (Cheng and Mix 2014;Hawes et al 2017;Verdine et al 2017).…”

“…In another study, Delgado & Prieto (2004) demonstrated that MR predicted geometry and word problems (which involve a written text containing a set of data followed by one or more questions) but not arithmetic performance in 13-year-old children. Recently, Hawes et al (2019) found fresh evidence that spatial abilities (visual-spatial reasoning, 2D mental rotation and raven’s matrices) and numerical abilities (including ordering, symbolic and non-symbolic comparison tasks) predicted math achievement using tasks based on counting, ordering, operations, place value, fractions/proportions/decimals, in primary school children aged between 4 and 11 years.…”

“…As for the mathematics tasks, we used written calculations and number ordering. Arithmetic or calculation-based tasks have been frequently used by most studies as an index of mathematic performance (e.g., Filippetti & Richaud , 2017 ; Hawes et al, 2019 ; Kyttälä & Lehto, 2008 ; Mix et al, 2016 ), being these type of tasks essential in the core of mathematics education for the elementary grades according to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics ( NCTM, 2000 ). In the number ordering task, the numbers are processed as ordered sequences, one important marker of an individual’s basic number skills (Hawes et al, 2018), where a positive relation between children and adults’ ordinality skills and mathematical performance has been found ( Lyons et al, 2014 ; Lyons, Vogel & Ansari, 2016 ).…”

“…However, previous studies reported that students have limited visualization skills in mathematics (Arcavi, 2003;Stylianou & Silver, 2004). Since visualization is a unique predictor of student's mathematics performance (Hawes, Moss, Caswell, Seo, & Ansari, 2019;Kahl, Grob, Segerer, & Möhring, 2019), it is suggested that visual representations should be emphasized in mathematics classrooms.…”
