Space > Location and Direction
Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:
Locate positions in two-dimensional representations of a familiar space; move positions by following directions and pathways.
What this means
Can interpret simple maps and directions.
- Maps used should have no reference to scale, compass directions, or grid coordinates.
- The maps should properly reflect reality (e.g. “to find the treasure start at the monkey bars, go past the tree and look behind the slide”).
Tip
- Activity: Human Robot. One student directs another student through a maze using instructions like “forward”, “left turn”, and “full turn”. See turtle programming for digital option.
