Max Maths, Year 3, Learn together, Position, direction and movement

In the 'Max Maths' Year 3 curriculum, students embark on an engaging journey to understand the concepts of position, direction, and movement. Through a series of illustrative examples, children are encouraged to observe and describe the spatial relationships and orientations of different objects. The learning material presents various scenarios, such as a teddy bear positioned on a box and Samir who is found hiding under a table, to help children relate to everyday situations and enhance their comprehension of positional language.

Further examples include a car travelling clockwise around a track and Jade who is spinning anticlockwise, which introduces the children to directional movement. These real-life instances continue with a shirt draped over a chair and pencils neatly stored inside a pencil case, reinforcing the vocabulary of position. This interactive session is designed to be both educational and fun, prompting students to turn to their workbooks on pages 210 to 211 to continue their exploration of these fundamental mathematical concepts.
