We live in a three-dimensional world, but many of our learning environments today offer few opportunities for three-dimensional exploration. Spatial reasoning is also integral to everyday life, in social studies, the arts, and geography as well as new careers like computer animation.
Navigating the 3-D World will help early childhood teachers feel confident in implementing more mathematical and spatial concepts into their rooms.
