Max Maths, Year 2, Work Book, Directions

In the "Max Maths, Year 2, Workbook," children are given a practical exercise in understanding directions through the context of a kindergarten floor plan. Practice 2 focuses on navigating this space by plotting routes and writing corresponding instructions. The floor plan includes various designated areas such as a cooking area, block corner, sand and water, art, computer area, listening area, library corner, house corner, and table toys, all strategically placed around the room and furnished with chairs and other kindergarten essentials.

The first task requires the children to draw a path starting from the door closest to the cooking area, leading to the library corner. They must then write down the step-by-step directions for this route, helping them to visualise and articulate the movement through the space. The second task is similar but asks the children to draw a route from the computer area to the sink. This activity not only aids in their spatial awareness but also encourages them to practice writing clear and precise instructions, an essential skill for both mathematical understanding and everyday life.
