Spatial Reasoning in the Early Years

By Brent Davis, Spatial Reasoning Study Group

(Routledge, £29.99)

Spatial skills are proving to be not just essential to maths skills but also a strong predictors of future success. The concept of 'spatial reasoning' has gained renewed prominence among mathematics educators, and this book explains it and provides compelling evidence of the need for a clear focus within early education.

The book uses classroom language but some of the core concepts, such as the role of drawing in spatial reasoning, are highly relevant to developing a greater understanding of the crucial role spatial reasoning plays in children's development.
