VISUAL SPATIAL SKILLS WITH A HIGHLIGHTER Visual spatial skills are important for school age children and are needed for reading, writing and mathematics. We need visual spatial skills to see how information is organised on the page, tracking and interpreting that information. In this example we are reading a grid following the horizontal and vertical coordinates to solve the coded message. To keep track, a highlighter is used once the correct coordinates are read. This worksheet forms part of th

This is visual-spatial thinking. It supports math, reading, and writing. No directions. No rush. Just shapes, light, and time to figure it out. At the light table, students match transparent pattern blocks to snowflake templates. They notice angles. They rotate pieces. They try something, see it doesn’t fit, and adjust. This kind of work supports how children learn to: ⭐️recognize shapes and patterns ⭐️understand how pieces fit together ⭐️track visual information from left to right ⭐️stick with
