Lesson details
Key learning points
- Up, down, right and left can be used to move objects on a grid.
- Combine direction with a number of squares to give accurate directions.
- The move can include a horizontal and a vertical direction.
Keywords
Grid - A set of lines used to help us accurately draw graphs is known as grid.
Position - Position means where something is located (often in relation to something else.)
Horizontal - Horizontal means side to side, like the horizon.
Vertical - Vertical means in an up-down direction.
Common misconception
Pupils may mix up directions, for example, moving left instead of right, or up instead of down. Pupils might start their movement from an incorrect position, leading to an inaccurate final location.
Use clear and consistent language when teaching directions. Reinforce understanding by having students physically point or move in the indicated direction.
