Position (Year 5)

In KS2 Maths, as you move to Year Five, you'll become a pro at position and direction! Imagine a compass – you'll know it inside out by now. Also, angles in a quarter, half, or full spin are your pals. You can find angles on a straight line or in a circle by taking away a given angle. Now, let's dive into marking spots using coordinates, the X axis, and the Y axis on a grid.

On a grid, we mark positions with coordinates like (3,4) or (5,6). Picture these as magical points! The first number is on the X axis, the second on the Y axis. Where they meet, that's a special spot on the grid – like making a secret code to show buried treasure on a map!
