Spatial Understanding

🔹 What Is Spatial Understanding?

It means knowing where things are in space — their position, direction, and shape.

Clues:

• Above / Below
  
  

• Beside / Between
  
  

• Left / Right
  
  

• Inside / Outside
  
  

• Near / Far
  
  

We also learn to move shapes by:

• Flipping (reflection)
  
  

• Sliding (translation)
  
  

• Turning (rotation)
  
  

💡 Why It Matters

Spatial skills help with map reading, drawing, building, and geometry.
We use it in daily life — from packing a bag to designing a room.
