Children will enjoy playing 'Shape Shaker' to practise and apply their understanding of position in the first quadrant. This Year 5 Read and Plot Coordinates Supporting Activity allows children to generate their own coordinates using a dice and then use that as a vertex to create a given shape. Perfect to use in pairs in a class setting, or in small groups as part of a targeted intervention.

The instructions to this practical activity includes a modelled example so that this could be given to pupils to lead without adult support.


Curriculum Objectives
