Position (Year 3)

Understanding position is super important in KS2 Maths. In Year Three, we learn about compass points like North, South, East, and West. We also figure out the difference between going clockwise and anticlockwise. Now, it's time to know about horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines, and how a grid has rows and columns.

Position is like telling where something is or which way to go. We use words like horizontal, vertical, clockwise, and anticlockwise to describe it. Knowing these words helps us read maps and not get lost!
