Option 4 : Asking students to draw their own house on paper, while maintaining relative sizes of different rooms.

Activities are the tasks designed or deployed by the teacher to bring about the conditions for learning.

Spatial reasoning is the ability to mentally manipulate and orient shapes. It is the ability to recognize items by understanding how different shapes fit together.

Activities for developing spatial reasoning-

Using tangrams and puzzles will be an interesting activity in the classroom to develop spatial understanding as it involves geometry, problem-solving, visualization, and pattern predictions.
Ask children to draw a map of their house on paper. The teacher should ask students to make symbols of their own like squares for windows, rectangles for a door etcetera. With the help of this activity, the children will be able to visualize the different rooms in their houses, develop spatial understanding and connect the classroom to the real-life situation.
Drawing and painting methods will also help children explore the concept of space and geometry.
Using block towers will help children work on their sense of geometry, balance shape orientation, position, etc.

Hence, we conclude that asking students to draw their own house on paper, while maintaining relative sizes of different rooms can be used as a contextual activity to introduce the concept of mapping and spatial understanding to grade 2 learners.
HintChildren in grade II can read and write numbers up to 99 and can solve daily life problems based on addition and subtraction only. Multiplication has not been introduced in grade 2 and the children are not familiar with the concept of area.
