Stage 2

Geometric measure B
Position: Create and interpret grid maps
  • Create simple maps and plans from an aerial view, labelling grid references

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

Position: Use directional language and describe routes with grid maps
  • 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)

Length: Use scaled instruments to measure and compare lengths
  • Select and use an appropriate scaled instrument to measure Loading  and distances

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

  • Recognise the features of a three-dimensional Loading  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 Loading  notation to 2 decimal places

Angles: Compare angles to a right angle
  • Compare Loading  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 Loading , right, Loading , straight, Loading  or a revolution

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