Max Maths, Year 3, Practice, Finding and describing position

In this practice exercise from Max Maths for Year 3, students are invited to engage with a grid to develop their understanding of position and coordinates. The grid is labelled with letters along one axis (A to F) and numbers along the other (1 to 4), creating a simple coordinate system. The exercise consists of a series of tasks that require the students to interact with the grid in various ways. For example, they are asked to place the number '4' in the cell at F3, and '3' in the cell at B1. They are also tasked with identifying and writing a multiple of 5 in cell A4 and a multiple of 10 in F2, applying their knowledge of multiplication and number sequences.

Further tasks include identifying which column contains two numbers, encouraging the students to observe patterns and repetition within the grid. Additionally, the students are asked to personalise the activity by placing the first letter of their name somewhere in the grid and then noting its grid position, combining spatial awareness with a personal touch. This exercise not only reinforces numerical concepts like multiples but also helps students become comfortable with grid references, a fundamental skill in mathematics. After completing the grid tasks, students are directed to continue their learning by referring to specific workbook pages for additional practice and reinforcement of the concepts.
