Geometry and Measurement:
We describe, measure, and compare spatial relationships.
- How are these shapes alike and different?
- What 3D shapes can you find in nature? What 2D shapes live in objects in our world?
- How can you combine shapes to make new shapes?
Spatial reasoning in young children is an indicator of future overall school success, as wellas more specifically, literacy and numeracy
(Duncan et al, 2007). It is not a pre-determined
trait but is something that is malleable and can be developed and learned.
