Abstract
The development of the pupil's ability to visualize spatial relationships has for a long time been recognized as one of the problems confronting the teacher of Solid Geometry. In 1923, the National Committee on Mathematics Requirements wrote: “The aim of the work in Solid Geometry should be to exercise further the spatial imagination of the student and to give him both a knowledge of the fundamental relationships and the power to work with tbem.”1 In 1940, the Joint Commission of the Mathematical Association of America and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics reported: “Much attention should be given to the visualization of spatial figmes and relations, to the representation of three dimensional figures on paper.…”2
