Explore our position and direction resources, including worksheets and activities that help pupils describe movement, turns and location using accurate mathematical language. These resources support early geometry learning in KS1, with practical tasks for understanding left, right, forwards, backwards and simple directional vocabulary.
To introduce key language, try our Year 1 describing position worksheets and our Year 1 position and direction lesson resource pack.
Understanding position and direction helps pupils interpret movement, follow instructions and describe where objects are in relation to one another. These position and direction activities support pupils as they learn to use terms such as above, below, next to, left and right, and begin describing turns and routes.
This collection is ideal for Year 1 position and direction maths, providing classroom-ready worksheets and activities that build confidence with early geometry skills. Pupils can apply learning through drawing routes, giving directions and solving simple positional problems.
If you are searching for position and direction activities, position and direction Year 3 preparation, or KS1 direction drawing tasks, this page brings together practical resources to support progression in geometry.
