Lining up toys, setting the table just-so, building perfectly symmetrical structures. These are all part of the Positioning Schema.

We need a strong foundation in positioning so that we can write neatly on a line, put away our clothes in the wardrobe, park a car between the lines, and explore mathematical concepts such as pattern and symmetry.

Your child can explore the Positioning Schema at Discovery Time by:

creating transient art and mandalas with loose parts.

collaging - sorting the materials by shape, size, material or meaning.
