Spatial Reasoning – I’ve Been Talking About it For Years!
This article, from KQED News, written by Deborah Farmer Kris reiterates what we have been talking about at Early Math Counts for years; Spatial Reasoning is an extremely important competency that can be taught and supported very early in life. She provides ideas for activities that encourage spatial thinking and describes why using spatial vocabulary is critical for young children’s development in this area.
Great article on a math topic we often over look!

This is a great article and reminder of how important it is to start teaching spatial reasoning skills at an early age. Very simple but effective examples that anyone can do with children. Thank you!
Fascinating to learn that spatial reasoning skills predict one’s level of creativity later in development.
The map hide and seek idea would be a great classroom activity as well.
The map hide and seek idea sounds like a great idea for my 2 and 3 year olds.
This is very important!! i’m glad i found this article.
