ABSTRACT

Focused on core competency-oriented education reform, this study explores integrating visual-spatial thinking cultivation into high school mathematics teaching via the "circumscribed sphere of a regular triangular pyramid" case. Grounded in constructivism, it designs targeted strategies (GeoGebra demonstration, hands-on drawing) to address students' spatial learning difficulties, proving concrete teaching vehicles effectively turn abstract competency goals into actionable learning outcomes.
