This sequence focuses upon position and direction. Pupils often struggle with the complexity of language needed to describe position. The context of the language is broad, varied in real life and requires plenty of rehearsal across a range of curriculum areas.
Rotations and the related language is introduced to Year 1. Links are made to time and the clock face. Year 2 apply this learning to compass points and to turns when following and giving directions.
Ordinal numbers are used in real-life contexts such as position in a queue or floors of a building. These are then combined with positional language such as ‘left’ and ‘right’.
Pupils are familiar with creating patterns. Repeating patterns provide opportunities for applying ordinal numbers to describe the position of shapes within the pattern or to identify shapes and their properties within a sequence.
