This Year 2 Position and Direction Mistake Investigators resource offers a variety of carefully structured questions designed to strengthen children’s reasoning and problem-solving skills by identifying and explaining mistakes.

Each objective includes four questions: one correct answer and three incorrect options. Children are encouraged to spot the mistakes, decide which answer is correct and explain their thinking.

The questions are intended for group work to spark discussion and collaborative learning. They cover key position and direction objectives including: order and arrange combinations of mathematical objects in patterns and sequences; and use mathematical vocabulary to describe position, direction and movement. A range of visual representations are provided to support children's thinking.

If you’re looking for a resource that helps children develop their reasoning skills while becoming more confident, investigative learners, this is the perfect choice!
