This session introduces key concepts of shape and space, including position, direction, and angle. Students will engage in practical tasks, explore coordinate representation, and use ICT to enhance their understanding. Plenary sessions will reinforce learning.

SCITT2014-15 Day 5 Position, direction and angle identifying key features of shape and space
Students will… • be aware of the key ideas underpinning shape and space work in KS1 and KS2; • prepare some challenging practical tasks for using and applying in shape and space; • look at coordinate representation and use of angle; • explore aspects of position and movement using ICT;
Associated Issues for teaching • Make sure you are clear about the fundamental ideas in shape. • Explore the use of ICT for shape and space work • Understand the purpose of the plenary session
Purposeful Plenaries • What are plenaries for? • How have you seen them used? • What features make for a successful plenary?
Track NCETM – Activities and Exemplification(for your year group and one year group either side)
Day 5 • Session 1 – Position (Coords & Symmetry) • Session 2 - Angle • Session 3 – Movement • Session 4 – Summary
Create a picture • Use the cubes/ 3D shapes to create a ‘still life’ • Make as many statements as you can about your picture… • e.g. “The cone is to the right of the blue cube” • What variety of language can you use?
Using the layout of your school Create instructions on how to get to… A B How many different trails can you create? Use 10x10 grid to make a simple maze… Place a counter in the middle of your maze How would you describe to a friend how to navigate their way out? From A to B
Coordinates-Plotting Draw in the square… • A tick B4 • A cross E3 • A triangle C2 Try out other ideas with a partner 5 4 3 2 1 A B C D E
Coordinates-Movement Put a counter on E5 Move: 4 squares West 2 squares South 3 squares East Where do you finish up? Make up one of your own for your partner 5 4 3 2 1 A B C D E
Coordinates 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Plot (5,3) & (7,5) These are two vertices of a square. Find the coords of the other two vertices. How many different squares can you find? What other 2d shapes can you plot? 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Real Life Ordnance Survey Maps Locate ‘interesting features’ on your map. Can you give accurate 6 figure coordinates for others to find them? e.g. 102 365 A church
Lines of Symmetry Make a pattern of coloured cubes/ counters on one side of the line of symmetry… Complete the picture
Routes • Give instructions to draw the route below. Use the direction words: north, south, east and west. Give the exact length of each line.
Draw it Draw a selection of 2D shapes in each column. (Regular and irregular)
Estimating Angle Makers • Draw round a CD twice. • Cut out the circles. • Find the centre point of each circle by folding. • Cut along a radius of each circle. • Intersect the circles.
Using a Protractor • Can you create Success Criteria to “use a protractor to measure an angle”? (Expectations: to nearest 10° or 5° or 1°) • What are the main teaching points? • How might you model this? Woodlands Junior – “What’s My Angle?” http://resources.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/maths/shapes/angles.html
Examples • There are nine equal angles around a point. What is the size of each angle? • There are a number of equal angles around a point. The size of each angle is 24°. How many equal angles are there?
Robot Instructions • A robot is programmed to walk 3 paces, turn left 90°, then walk another 4 paces and turn right through 90°. It repeats this over and over. Trace out its path on a grid. • Make up another program for the robot to follow... What shapes can you make it draw?
