By exploring both primary and emergent dimensions, \u003ci\u003eSpatial Reasoning in the Early Years\u003c\/i\u003e helps define the concept of spatial reasoning and provides compelling evidence of the need for a clear focus within early education specifically. The authors review the research, look across current theories, and investigate implications for contemporary school mathematics pedagogy as they identify areas of inquiry necessary to bring a stronger spatial reasoning emphasis into the classroom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book contains many classroom- or workshop-based vignettes, highlighting the complexity of spatial reasoning in educational practice, providing an in-depth analysis of spatial reasoning as it applies to classroom practice, and offering new ways of framing lessons to help young students hone their spatial reasoning abilities. The book concludes with a forward-looking agenda that contributes to developing a greater understanding of the role spatial reasoning plays in educational contexts and beyond. Supported by plentiful visual representations, \u003ci\u003eSpatial Reasoning in the Early Years\u003c\/i\u003e skillfully integrates the conceptual and the concrete, making this text a dynamic and accessible resource. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrent Davis\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor and Distinguished Research Chair of the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003eSpatial Reasoning Study Group\u003c\/b\u003e is a transdisciplinary team of researchers from across North America with its hub at the University of Calgary.
