Geometric ideas are essential mathematical and educational building blocks of early math —complementing number. Our learning trajectories approach incorporates both old and new technologies, from blocks and puzzles to multimedia computer programs. We will discuss learning trajectory-- the goals, developmental progressions, and teaching activities --that help children construct mathematical building blocks for geometry and spatial relationships.
