Local Framework User

Locates objects after moving, maintaining the overall shape of the arrangement of objects. Represents objects’ positions relative to landmarks (e.g., about halfway in between two landmarks) and keeps track of own location in open areas or mazes. Uses spatial vocabulary to direct attention to spatial relations. Uses coordinate labels in simple situations such as games.

Experiences encourage children to move around, keeping track of their location(s) and searching in more open area or maze-like structures. Challenge students with direction using spatial terms.
