The RIF 3.0 ( https://rif4you.eu/) website is dedicated to the differentiated training and diagnosis of spatial thinking skills. Primary and secondary school students as well as university students can train their spatial thinking skills in a variety of scientifically based ways. The website offers freely accessible extensive training options by providing numerous, different task groups with a total of more than 1.500 interactive tasks. With the help of the task groups of this website the spatial thinking skills of students can be diagnosed by educators on a class-by-class or individual basis. All the task groups are designed in such a way that they can directly be integrated into lessons or lectures and many components of spatial thinking can be trained in a playful way. Each task group consists of 20 to 60 tasks, which take between 15 up to 45 minutes to complete.
RIF is a cooperation project of the working group “Didactic Innovations Geometry”, the Paris Lodron University Salzburg with the support of the European Union.
