FORMATION OF SPATIAL REPRESENTATIONS AT CHILDREN OF PRESCHOOL AGE MEANS OF DIDACTIC GAMES AND EXERCISES
The article studies spatial representations of preschool age children. This problem was studied by A.V.Beloshistaya, F.N. Blekher, L.S.Vygotskiy, A.M.Leushina, S.D.Lutskovskaya, T.A.Museyibova and others on the national level. Many of them point out that in this age the spatial orientation is formed on the basis of direct space perception and spatial relationship of verbal designations (location, distance, spatial relations between objects). For effective formation of spatial representations for preschool children a set of didactic games and exercises consisting of 4 groups was created: games and exercises on distinction of basic spatial directions in the process of position changing and orientation in space; games and exercises to find location of objects in the environment and spatial relationship between them; games and exercises aimed at verbal indication of objects’ position in space; games and exercises for orientation in sheets.
