In class this week, we used TanGoes (basically the tangrams of my childhood!) to do a little bit of visual problem solving. Needless to say, this activity confirmed that I am not the greatest with spatial thinking. It was difficult for me to decide which of the small shapes were needed to create the larger figures.
On the bright side, I was able to use my creativity to embellish our projectile for the later activity. We wanted to make it transform in the air, so I made some legs that we attached to the main body of our projectile (a roll of tape).
So maybe I am a visual person! It just depends on what context I need to apply those skills. Spatial thinking, not so much. Creative visual elements for a project, absolutely! Now I just need to decide when my visual skills are useful and when I need to find someone who can help me.
