Slide! Rotate! Young children learn to manipulate shapes using these transformations, too! You can observe this when you watch them match shapes in a shape sorter, work puzzles, and create designs, patterns, and constructions with blocks or 2-D shapes. Flip!
DEVELOPING GEOMETRY AND SPATIAL SENSE CONCEPTS • Help children notice attributes of shapes such as number of sides and corners, curved versus straight lines, etc. • Provide examples of 2-D shapes that are irregular or in different orientations so children can expand their thinking about shapes • Provide opportunities to put together and take apart different shapes • Plan experiences that encourage children to move their bodies through space in a variety of ways (obstacle courses, acting like different animals, “Going on A Bear Hunt, etc.) • Talk with children about: – Similarities and differences between 2-D and 3-D shapes – How to figure out where a puzzle piece fits – What they are doing and where things are using descriptive language
