Spatial reasoning is an essential skill for math learning and can be acquired through training and practice. Let’s start with learning shapes. Here are some fun hands-on activities for your toddler to create 2-D and 3-D shapes from scratch. By constructing each shape one side at a time, preschoolers will have a better sense of what constitutes a…

Paper House – Shape Activity For Preschoolers
Shape Activity For Preschoolers This shape activity for preschoolers requires very simple materials. It is the perfect project for little kids to exercise their fine motor skills and learn to visualize different 3 dimensional shapes. Note that this project requires a lot of eye-hand coordination. I’d recommend this for children above 4 years old. We will be…
Fun Math Games – Learning Shapes And Patterns Activities
Patterning is fundamental to mathematics because all math are virtually patterns and structures. Mathematical relations and transformations result in patterns and abstraction. It is therefore critical to children’s development of mathematical reasoning. The integration of patterning in children’s early learning can promote such development. There are many types of patterning: written symbols (e.g. ABCABCABC…), numerical (e.g. 1,…

Activities For Kids – Fine Motor Skills Development
Toddler’s fine motor skills is one of the strongest predictors of the child’s future academic achievement. Fine motor skill is the ability to control hands and fingers. They are needed for writing, playing with small toys, doing puzzles, cutting with scissors, tying shoelaces and more. At school, kids are expected to learn to write new…
