Abstract :The purpose of this study is to investigate the alterations in rural students\' spatial skills when engaging in activities that necessitate the use of isometric drawing tool within the context of online distance education. This study was conducted to investigate the spatial skills of five 7th-grade students from a rural secondary school. Data for this research included pre- and post-interviews, activity papers, and homeworks completed by the students. The qualitative descriptive analyses were employed to determine the impact of the implementation on students\' spatial abilities. The results indicated that utilizing an isometric drawing tool during online distance education effectively improved rural students\' spatial skills. Overall, students expressed positive opinions about the use of virtual manipulatives. Based on the findings of this study, we recommend that educators consider incorporating isometric drawing tools and virtual manipulatives into their online mathematics teaching to enhance students\' spatial skills.Keywords : Sanal manipülatif, uzamsal akıl yürütme, uzaktan eğitim, kırsal bölge öğrencileri
