Year 5 Knowledge Organiser: Position and Direction

This Knowledge Organiser is designed to help Year 5 students understand the key concepts of position and direction in geometry. It covers essential skills such as identifying and describing positions on grids and coordinate planes, using coordinates (positive numbers) to plot and navigate points. Students will explore concepts like translation, reflection, and rotation, with clear explanations of how to move shapes in different directions and describe their transformations. The organiser includes visual aids, step-by-step guides, and worked examples to help students confidently use terms like “clockwise,” “anticlockwise,” “quarter turn,” and “half turn” when describing movement and direction. With practical examples and a focus on real-world applications, this organiser provides a strong foundation for understanding spatial awareness, making it an essential resource for reinforcing skills in geometry and problem-solving.
