We are so lucky to have such amazing tools in the STEM Lab! Wooden blocks are the perfect tool for students to practice and refine their spatial thinking skills. Strong math skills in kindergarten provide the necessary foundation needed to succeed in STEM related disciplines. Engaging in spatial activities and acquiring spatial language helps prepare students for math and science.
This week, the students continued to cooperate as they used the smaller shapes to build and create larger shapes. In the pictures you can see how they discuss, problem solve, and work together to successfully complete the building challenges. As the students composed the shapes, they discussed shape terms, dimensional adjectives, and spatial features.
