In the early grades, geography fits into social studies along with sociology and history and aims to study geographic space. Schoolchildren, around 6-7 years old, have the competence to learn to orient themselves spatially, this psychogenesis of the notion of space is built according to the child's cognitive development. It is a long process that should not be skipped. There are relevant aspects such as the body scheme, laterality, topological spatial relationships. This whole trajectory of the child's experimentation becomes the construction of the psychogenesis of the notion of space.
