Perhaps students with greater mental rotation ability foundthe tasks more inherently interesting and were therefore more willing to devote more time to"playing" with the 3D shapes on screen. There is value in seeking viable scaffolds and supports for those students with limitedmental rotation ability so that they can find success in science, technology, engineering andmathematics. This research lays the groundwork for online systems that assess students' spatialability first and then tailors instruction to the needs of the learner. If students are found to havelow mental rotation ability, software may adjust activities dynamically so that problems aresolved via symbolic

This is not a problem in reality, however, as architects collaborate with engineers insuch cases to design the details of the structure. Ove Arup and Bjorn Utzon collaborated fornearly three years to solve the problem of how to design the shells of the Sydney Opera House 2.Norman Foster and ARUP experimented with structure and form in the design of the Swiss REBuilding, London 7.
