Position and direction - Describe movement and turns activity - Worksheet

This worksheet is a multifaceted educational tool designed for Year 2 students, to be used in the summer term of Week 4, Day 2. It incorporates various mathematical concepts including position and direction, mental arithmetic, and properties of shapes. For the section on position and direction, students are asked to describe the movements and turns made by a triangle. They must identify the type of turn (e.g., half-turn or three-quarter turn) and the direction of the turn (clockwise or anticlockwise). This activity not only teaches geometry but also spatial awareness.

In addition to geometry, the worksheet includes arithmetic practice with the 'Fluent in Four - Revision' section. Here, students perform subtraction problems, such as '94 – 58', and solve number bond challenges to reinforce their addition skills. For example, they find two numbers that add up to a given total, like finding which two numbers sum to 16. The worksheet also features a table where students must identify and record the number of edges and faces on various 3D shapes, such as a cone, a square-based pyramid, and a cube. This part of the activity helps familiarise students with geometric terminology and the characteristics of different shapes. Overall, the worksheet is a well-rounded exercise aimed at improving students' understanding of fundamental maths concepts.
