Position and Direction

In this lesson, we will revise the names of different types of 2D shape. We will begin to explore how shapes can be referred to on a grid using coordinates. We will learn about the x and y axis and how to read coordinates to locate points on a grid. We will use the correct mathematical language for shape and coordinates for a variety of quadrilaterals.

In this lesson, we will revise prior learning about coordinates. We will continue to explore how points plotted on a grid can be referred to using coordinates. We will learn about the x and y axis and how to read coordinates to locate points on a grid. We will remember that one must read the x axis first followed by the y axis. We will investigate using our new knowledge.

In this lesson, we will deepen our understanding of coordinates by plotting various types of triangle onto a grid. We will use our knowledge of triangles to name the type and follow instructions to meet a range of criteria.

In this lesson, we will begin to learn how to move a shape from one position to another on a grid. We will look at the translation of shapes a given number of units up, down, left or right. We will develop strategies to reposition these shapes and check that we are working accurately.

In this lesson, we will continue to move a variety of shapes from one position to another on a grid. We will look at the translation of shapes a given number of units up, down, left or right. We will further develop strategies to reposition these shapes and check that we are working accurately.
