Description

This domain builds a sense of orientation in space, helping children place themselves and objects in relation to their own movements and to one another — a foundation for later geography and mathematics. Children learn spatial words, follow and give directions, reproduce designs and constructions, work with grids and mazes, use simple maps of familiar places, and name basic geographic features and environments.
