Geometry and spatial awareness are developed through hands-on, interactive activities that help children understand shapes, spatial relationships, and geometric principles in a concrete and intuitive manner. This approach fosters both visual and tactile learning, allowing children to build a strong foundation in these areas.

‍

Concrete Geometry Activities

1. Shapes and Solids:
   • Geometric Solids: Kids play with 3D shapes like cubes and spheres to understand volume and space.
   • Geometric Cabinet: This has different 2D shapes, like triangles and circles, for sorting and recognition.
2. Sensorial Materials:
   • Pink Tower and Brown Stair: These help kids learn about size and thickness through stacking and arranging.
   • Geometric Insets: Kids fit shapes into matching frames to understand shape and space.

Spatial Awareness Activities

1. Building and Construction:
   • Blocks: Children build with blocks to explore balance and symmetry.
   • Puzzle Maps: These maps help kids learn about shapes and positions of places.
2. Mapping and Navigation:
   • Treasure Maps: Kids create and use maps to learn about directions and distances.
   • Grid Activities: Moving on grids helps kids understand direction and space.

Benefits

1. Mathematical Foundation: Activities build a strong base for future math skills.
2. Engaging Learning: Hands-on materials make learning fun and clear.
3. Cognitive Skills: Helps improve problem-solving and spatial thinking.

At GVM, we use interactive materials and activities to teach geometry and spatial awareness in a fun, hands-on way.
