Coordinates Easter Egg Hunt
Six differentiated activities to use coordinates to hunt Easter Eggs.
National Curriculum Objectives
Mathematics Y1: (1P2) Describe position, direction and movement, including whole, half, quarter and three-quarter turns
Mathematics Y2: (2P2) Use mathematical vocabulary to describe position, direction and movement, including movement in a straight line and distinguishing between rotation as a turn and in terms of right angles for quarter, half and three-quarter turns (clockwise and anticlockwise)
Mathematics Y4: (4P3a) Describe positions on a 2-D grid as coordinates in the first quadrant
Mathematics Y5: (5P2) Identify, describe and represent the position of a shape following a reflection or translation, using the appropriate language, and know that the shape has not changed
Mathematics Y5: (5N5) Interpret negative numbers in context, count forwards and backwards with positive and negative whole numbers, including through zero
Mathematics Y6: (6P3) Describe positions on the full coordinate grid (all four quadrants)
