Absolutely agree about the importance of pattern and spatial reasoning. For our evidenced-based spatial reasoning resources see: Spatial reasoning platform: surrey.ac.uk/spatial-reasoni… Spatial reasoning toolkit: earlymaths.org/spatial-reaso… @EChildhoodMaths
White Rose Education@WhiteRoseEd12 Mar 2024
Pattern and spatial reasoning are two of the main predictors of children’s later success in school. Why not have a go this spatial reasoning activity using Cuisenaire rods 🟥🟩🟥🟥 Our summer term Reception resources are releasing very soon - stay tuned! #eyfs #reception #wrm
