Create simple maps and plans from an aerial view, labelling grid references

Identify and mark locations on maps and plans, given their grid references

Use a given grid map and compass directions (N, S, E, W) to plan, describe and show a route from one location to another

Use natural resources or landmarks to identify north, south, east, west

Relate compass directions to amounts of turn

Describe a return journey between 2 locations on a grid map (Reasons about spatial orientation)

Select and use an appropriate scaled instrument to measure lengths and distances

Select and use an appropriate unit to estimate, measure and compare lengths and distances

Recognise the features of a three-dimensional object associated with length that can be measured

Use the term perimeter to describe the distance around the boundary

Estimate and measure the perimeters of quadrilaterals

Convert between metres and centimetres, and between centimetres and millimetres

Record lengths and distances using decimal notation to 2 decimal places

Compare angles to a right angle using an informal means

Recognise and describe angles as less than, equal to, about the same as or greater than a right angle

Describe angles in comparison to quarter-turns as acute, right, obtuse, straight, reflex or a revolution

Identify the arms and vertex of an angle where one arm is visible and the other arm is invisible
