Abstract

Conclusion. The effectiveness of the multisensory approach based on the CRA framework was shown to improve geometrical thinking skills, and there is a relationship between sensory preferences and students' performance, as well as a relationship between the interaction of different sensory preferences and students' performance

Keywords: CRA framework, geometric thinking, multisensory, learning difficulties, sensory preferences
