This article discusses the spatial representations that are required to teach a child to count, write, draw, read – all the processes that are based on establishing relations between objects and phenomena, their sequence, and hence their spatial relationships. Spatial concepts are essential for the formation of higher mental functions: praxis, gnosis, speech and writing, memory and thinking. The complex mechanisms of spatial representations start to form in early childhood. Formation of spatial representations is related to the use of different systems of orientation in space (the visible and imaginary). Neuropsychology has always been a practical science. Authors offer a theoretically sound practice games and exercises that promote the formation and development of spatial representations, which can be useful for specialists and for parents of preschoolers.

The paper analyzes the difficulties in learning mathematics in preschool children. Key components of mathematical thinking are outlined. The difficulties in learning mathematics are analyzed on the concrete examples. It is shown that the spatial analysis and synthesis of thought is of paramount importance for successful mastery of mathematics. Difficulties in learning arithmetic operations in children are connected with spatial immaturity. Another essential component of mathematical operations is a well-developed thinking and arbitrary visual perception, which form the concept of geometric shapes. The programs of neuropsychological correction, which include a motor and cognitive correction are discussed.
