This app provides a variety of ways for children to practice their spatial thinking skills. Spatial thinking is the math that is used when navigating, reading maps and diagrams, and following directions to put things together.


Learning Goals

This app is designed to help children strengthen their spatial thinking skills as they:

- Understand spatial relationships and use spatial vocabulary such as: in front of, next to, and between
- Use maps and diagrams to plan, describe, and follow paths
- Connect maps to their real-world locations or objects


Early Math with Gracie & Friends® is a math-focused preschool curriculum supplement that includes resources for classroom and home use. AR Adventures and complementary activities for preschool classrooms and families were created as part of a research and development project to explore how AR can support young children's spatial learning.
