National Curriculum Objectives

Mathematics Year 5: (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 Year 6: (6P2) Draw and translate simple shapes on the coordinate plane, and reflect them in the axes

Mathematics Year 6: (6P3) Describe positions on the full coordinate grid (all four quadrants)

Differentiation for Year 5 Position in the First Quadrant:

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support understanding position in the first quadrant. Using up to 4 points, all plotted on a 5 x 5 grid, using 1:1 scale.
Expected Questions to support understanding position in the first quadrant. Using up to 6 points, all plotted on a 10 x 10 grid, using 1:1 scale.
Greater Depth Questions to support understanding position in the first quadrant. Using up to 6 points, all plotted on a 10 x 10 grid, using varying scales with some points plotted between increments.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Problem Solving)
Developing Use given coordinates to find a letter (simple letter formation). Using up to 4 points, all points plotted on a 5 x 5 grid, using 1:1 scale.
Expected Use given coordinates to find a 3 letter word. Using up to 6 points, all points plotted on a 10 x 10 grid, using 1:1 scale.
Greater Depth Use given coordinates to find a 5 letter word. Using up to 6 points, all points plotted on a 10 x 10 grid, using varying scales with some points plotted between increments.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Problem Solving)
Developing Plot coordinates to create a triangle on the grid. Using up to 4 points, all points plotted on a 5 x 5 grid, using 1:1 scale.
