Vocabulary - Position, Direction and Movement

The vocabulary list provided is an extensive collection of terms related to position, direction, and movement, which are essential concepts in the subject of Mathematics, specifically for Key Stage 2 students. The terms are categorized into various groups that relate to spatial understanding and navigation. For instance, words such as 'position', 'direction', 'movement', 'over', and 'under' describe the location of objects relative to each other and their movement. 'Top', 'bottom', 'side', and 'on' indicate specific locations on an object or within a space.

Further exploring spatial relationships, the list includes 'in front', 'behind', 'front', and 'back', which help describe the orientation of objects. 'Before', 'after', 'beside', and 'next to' are terms that denote sequence or proximity. Additionally, words like 'opposite', 'apart', 'between', and 'middle' are used to express relative positions. Navigational terms such as 'route', 'map', 'plan', 'left', and 'right' assist in planning and describing paths or movements. The list also covers directional and rotational movements like 'clockwise', 'anti-clockwise', 'whole turn', 'half turn', and 'quarter turn', as well as angles such as 'acute', 'obtuse', 'right angle', and comparisons like 'greater than' or 'less than' a right angle. These terms are fundamental for students to accurately describe and understand spatial concepts, shapes, and geometry.
