Year 1 Maths Summer Block 3 focuses on position and direction, helping pupils describe position, movement and turns using accurate mathematical vocabulary. Aligned with the Year 1 National Curriculum and White Rose Maths progression, pupils explore position and direction through practical movement and visual representations.
Across the block, pupils describe where objects are positioned and explore whole, half, quarter and three-quarter turns. Practical activities help pupils use directional language confidently and develop their spatial reasoning.
Summer Block 3 forms part of the Maths Masters Year 1 Summer sequence. Explore the full term to see how position, direction and movement fit into the wider Year 1 maths progression.

Our Year 1 position and direction resources help pupils describe position, direction and movement using mathematical vocabulary. Practical activities give pupils opportunities to follow and describe movement, identify positions and explore how turns change direction.
The block includes Year 1 position and direction worksheets, teaching slides and practical activities for describing position and turns. Pupils explore whole turns, half turns, quarter turns and three-quarter turns through movement and visual representations, developing their understanding of direction and spatial relationships.
In Year 1 geometry, pupils learn to describe position, direction and movement, including whole, half, quarter and three-quarter turns. Exploring these concepts practically helps pupils understand the relationship between movement and position while developing the spatial language needed for later geometry learning.
