Helping Your Five-Year-Old Develop Important Spatial Skills
Spatial reasoning connects math to the physical world and includes skills like reading maps, understanding symmetry and building 3D objects. Research indicates that spatial reasoning skills correlate to early achievement in mathematics and "strongly predict" who will pursue STEM careers later in life. At age five, your child is ready for more spatial challenges — navigating, exploring and building. And you can help them grow with fun activities at home!
