By seeing, manipulating, drawing, and talking about different types of triangles, children develop spatial reasoning skills such as mental rotation, visual spatial reasoning, and spatial vocabulary.If a picture book does not present shapes in various positions and sizes, you can rotate the pages and ask, Is this still a triangle? How do you know? When reading shape books, you can also talk about the characteristics of the shapes: How many sides does the square have? How many sides does the triangle have? Which one has more sides?Some math picture books include ideas about space and use spatial vocabulary in the text, such as inside, outside, up, down, left, and right. They must learn that they can rotate a triangle and enlarge or shrink the sides and it will remain a triangle. For example, if they only see isosceles triangles (with two longer sides and one short base) standing upright on a horizontal base, children might not recognize a rotated triangle or one with three unequal sides. Young children need many experiences with a variety of shapes so that they develop a rich, flexible understanding of shapes.Without variety and flexibility, children can develop rigid definitions.
