Lesson details
Key learning points
- The direction of a turn can be described using clockwise and anticlockwise.
- The amount of turn can be described using full turn, half turn, quarter turn and three-quarter turn.
Common misconception
Some children can struggle to identify which direction a turn is in when it does not start from a 12 o'clock position on a clock.
Allow plenty of opportunities to explore making clockwise and anticlockwise turns that start from many different positions and not always facing up or at the 12 o'clock position.
Keywords
