Figure-Ground Discrimination

2/21/2014

Figure-Ground discrimination is a component of visual discrimination. It is the ability to distinguish a shape, letter, or a number from its background.

Children who have difficulties with Figure-Ground discrimination may have trouble finding their place on a page, reading graphs/charts, and finding details in a picture.

In this game, each child receives two cards with overlapping numbers on them. We take turns spinning the spinner, and every child with that number on his card traces it with his finger.

Yes - we managed to sneak “numeral recognition” into this game, too!
