Position - PowerPoint

In this Year 1 Geometry resource, students are introduced to the concept of position and direction. The PowerPoint presentation, designed by Teacher of Primary, aims to help young learners practice describing the location of objects and their movements. The lesson begins with an interactive discussion where students are encouraged to think about and share words that describe where something is located. As the lesson unfolds, students are presented with a variety of positional words such as 'top', 'middle', 'bottom', 'behind', 'in front of', 'left', 'right', 'between', 'far', 'near', 'outside', and 'inside'.

The interactive element of the lesson continues with slides showing pictures where students must select the correct positional word to complete sentences, with immediate feedback provided as they click on their choices. This activity helps to reinforce their understanding of the vocabulary. The lesson then progresses to explore words that describe movement, such as 'forwards', 'backwards', 'up', and 'down'. Students watch animations of birds to identify the direction they are moving, further engaging with the concept. To consolidate their learning, the resource includes worksheets where students circle the correct positional words in given sentences, and a direction worksheet that involves following instructions to navigate a grid. This educational material offers a hands-on approach to learning about position and direction, tailored for young students.
