Abstract: This descriptive-correlational study aimed to enhance the visual imagery and spatial visualization skills in Geometry of pre-service Mathematics teachers, with the end goal of preparing a learning enhancement material. It described the academic performances and visualization skills of 147 pre-service Mathematics teachers, who have taken up Plane and Solid Geometry, stratified from selected colleges and universities in Batangas. The relationship between the levels of their visualization skills and their academic performances in Plane and Solid Geometry was found out. The difficulties encountered by the respondents in solving problems in Geometry, relative to their visualization skills, were also assessed. Results from the findings revealed that the average pre-service Mathematics teacher possessed good academic performance in Plane and Solid Geometry, medium levels of visual imagery and low levels of spatial visualization. The academic performances of pre-service Mathematics teachers in Geometry significantly correlated with their visualization skills. Lastly, most of the pre-service Mathematics teachers often encountered difficulties in solving problems in Geometry relative to their visualization skills. The Visual Enhancers Toolkit was prepared for pre-service Mathematics teachers as a learning enhancement material in Geometry to further develop their visualization skills.
