The angles of a triangle total 180^o.

Position (Year 6)

In Year 6 position, pupils extend their coordinate skills to all four quadrants, learning to describe positions, plot points, and translate or reflect shapes precisely.

Fascinating Fact:

GPS and navigation systems use coordinate positions to guide you to exactly the right address, even across towns and countries.

In KS2 Maths, Year 6 pupils use coordinate grids to describe and locate positions accurately. They work across four quadrants and apply this knowledge to reflections, translations, and real-world map skills.

Key Terms

Coordinate Grid: A grid used to locate positions using pairs of numbers called coordinates.
Quadrant: One of the four sections made by the x and y axes on a coordinate grid.
Translation: Moving a shape to a new position without changing its size or direction.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do you describe positions on a coordinate grid in Year 6?

In Year 6 Maths, positions are described using coordinate pairs written as (x, y), where x shows movement along the horizontal axis and y shows movement up or down.

What are the four quadrants on a coordinate grid?

The four quadrants are areas divided by horizontal (x) and vertical (y) axes, where coordinates can have positive or negative values.

How is position and direction used in real life?

Position and direction are used in GPS navigation, video game design, architecture, and map reading to calculate locations and plan movement.

1 .

A rectangle has the coordinates (2,2) (2,4) (6,4). What is the fourth coordinate?

(2,6)

(6,2)

(1,6)

(4,6)

This rectangle would have its longest sides at the top and bottom

2 .

What do we call two lines that cross one another?

Intersecting

Friends

Meeting

Crisscross

Intersecting lines meet but parallel lines never do

3 .

What is the total size of the other two angles in a right angled triangle?

30^o

45^o

60^o

90^o

180^o - 90^o = 90^o so the other two angles must add up to that

4 .

What is used to measure angles?

Ruler

Protractor

Tape measure

Compass

Most protractors are semi-circles divided into 180^o

5 .

If I turn 60^o how much more do I need to turn to complete one full turn?

100^o

200^o

300^o

400^o

360^o - 60^o = 300^o

6 .

What is the intersection?

The point where two angles meet

The point where two coordinates meet

The point where two shapes meet

The point where two lines meet

Where two roads meet it is also called an intersection

7 .

A shape has the coordinates (5,1) (1,4) (5,6) (9,4). What shape is it?

Square

Rectangle

Rhombus

Kite

It can be hard to imagine coordinates in your head. Drawing on some paper might help you to visualise the shape

8 .

If a triangle has a 60^o angle and a 40^o angle what angle is the third corner?

60^o

70^o

80^o

90^o

60^o + 40^o = 100^o so 180^o - 100^o = 80^o

9 .

What do the angles of a triangle total?

180^o

360^o

200^o

90^o

No matter what lengths its sides are or what shape it is, the angles in a triangle always add up to 180^o

10 .

A triangle has the coordinates (1,1) (1,4) (4,1). What will the coordinates be after a quarter turn clockwise?

(1,1) (4,1) (1,-2)

(1,-1) (4,1) (1,-4)

(1,1) (4,1) (1,4)

(1,1) (4,1) (4,-4)

If you worked that out without drawing on some paper then very well done!
