An image of the Position and Direction Mistake Investigators Resource


This Year 4 Position and Direction Mistake Investigators resource includes a range of reasoning and problem-solving style questions that are similar to questions children could encounter in assessments. The questions are designed to be answered in groups to promote discussion and development of reasoning skills.

The questions cover three position and direction objectives for Year 4 to test children's understanding of describing coordinates, plotting coordinates and translations. Answers are provided to steer where misconceptions have arisen and drive conversations about the errors.

If you're looking for something that will help your children develop their skills and help them to become more investigative learners, you're in the right place.
