Overview
How do we make sense of a complex world? Spatial thinking gives students the tools to see patterns, recognize relationships, analyze connections, and understand how people and places influence one another. In this webinar, we’ll explore why spatial thinking is at the heart of geographic thinking—and why it is an essential form of critical thinking. You’ll leave with strategies to help students:
- Analyze spatial patterns and relationships
- Use maps and geographic data as evidence
- Think critically about location, scale, and place
- Connect geographic patterns to real-world issues
- Develop stronger questions and explanations through spatial reasoning
