The main goal of this research is to improve the spatial ability of the 6th grade students. In this
study, spatial visualization was limited to the acquisitions in Turkish Primary Education mathematics
curriculum. The study dealt with primary education mathematics curriculum, geometry learning domain, the
acquisitions of the abilities to visualize three-dimensional structures built from unit cubes, to interpret twodimensional
drawings of three-dimensional objects and to find out the surfaces of the cube within geometrical
objects sub learning domain. In the framework of this limitation, the spatial visualization ability of the 6th grade
students has been trying to develop with concrete manipulatives , computer practicing and paper representations.
The study population consists of twenty 6th grade students attending Cumhuriyet Primary School in Sivrihisar,
Eski?ehir. The data in the study were collected through a qualitative research method, teacher as an action
researcher. The Data collected through the result of the pre-and post-test, interviewing, pictures, data collected
via observation and the video records. The effectiveness of this application was to be determined by analysis of
the qualitative data obtained from these resources. According to the findings of the research, the success rate of
post test increased after the application

u araştırmanın temel amacı, ilköğretim altıncı sınıf öğrencilerinin uzamsal yeteneklerini geliştirebilmektir. Çalışma da uzamsal yetenekler, ilköğretim matematik öğretim programındaki lköğretim matematik öğretim programında kazanımlarla uzamsallaştırmanın, geometri öğrenme alanı, geometrik cisimler alt öğrenme alanı oluşturulması; birim küplerle oluşturulmuş yapıların farklı yönlerden görünümlerini çizebilme, yüzlerinin farklı yönlerden ellerine ait çizimlerle yapıları birim küplerle oluşturulması ve izometrik kâğıda çizebilme, çizmemenin yapıları çok yüzlülerle oluşturulması, çok yüzlülerle dolu yapıların görünümlerini çizebilme kazanımlarıyla ilgili. Bu sınırlandırma performansı, ilköğretim altıncı sınıf öğrenilerinin, somut malzeme ve bilgisayar ile çalışmak. Araştırmanın çalışması grubunu, Eskişehir li, Sivrihisar lçesi, Cumhuriyet lköğretim Okulu 6. sınıfta okuyan 20 öğrenci olduğu. Çalışmada nitel Araştırma metodları “araştırmacı Öğretmen Yöntemi” Çalışmanın doğrulamak, tanımlamak sınav ön testi, uygulama testi yapıldı. Bu kaynaklardan elde etme yeterliliklerini analiz etmek. Ön test sonuçları kötü olan okulda kalmak uygulama testi başarı oranlarının arttığı görülmektedir.
