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.
