Many of the things you do
each day depend on spatial
awareness skills—walking
along the street, or using the
phone, for example. You perform
these actions so often that they
feel natural, so you barely give
them a thought. You’ll need to
pay a bit more attention to solve
e
these 3-D problems. Turn to
s
