Today I am practising: using relative position words to describe a layout
1
Draw a circle in the middle of your answer space. Draw a square to its left.
2
Draw a triangle to the right of the circle.
3
Draw a star above the circle and a small dot below it.
4
Which shape is between the square and triangle?
5
Write directions that would help an adult recreate your map.
6
Turn the paper halfway around. Explain why left and right directions now need a stated viewpoint.
- Agree that directions use the child's view with the paper upright.
- Allow an adult to draw the initial shapes if needed.
- Have a partner follow the directions as a check of clarity.
