Stephen,

Given that many people's mathematical skills are very limited what alternative skills would you have them use/develop if only mathematical skills were to survive? Are you really questioning whether skills in art, literature, music, dance et cetera might not survive in the 21st century?

Best wishes,

Ian

Stephen Poon

Indeed, I am.

In a comprehensive review of recent research on geometry education, we concluded that more research is needed "both on how to provide teachers and students with more opportunities to engage in visuospatial reasoning and how to find ways to adequately assess and value such reasoning"; see:

Sinclair, N., Bussi, M. G. B., de Villiers, M., Jones, K., Kortenkamp, U., Leung, A., & Owens, K. (2016). Recent research on geometry education: an ICME-13 survey team report. ZDM: Mathematics Education, 48(5), 691-719.
