In KS2 Maths, Year Six is when you get super good at playing with positions and directions! You'll know all about degrees and be a pro at spotting acute, obtuse, and right angles. Did you know a triangle has 180 degrees? Cool, right?
Now, let's talk about coordinates on a grid – it's like playing treasure hunt on a map! You'll learn how to describe where things are on the grid and even figure out what happens when you turn or flip shapes. It's like magic!
Knowing positions means reading coordinates, which are like secret codes for maps. Imagine being a map explorer! But, oh, figuring out new coordinates after turning a shape can be a bit tricky – like a puzzle you solve with a pencil and paper!
Test your brain with a fun quiz all about positions – let's see how much you remember from your super cool maths adventures!

Intersecting lines meet but parallel lines never do

Where two roads meet it is also called an intersection

Most protractors are semi-circles divided into 180o
|
No matter what lengths its sides are or what shape it is, the angles in a triangle always add up to 180o
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
60o + 40o = 100o so 180o - 100o = 80o
|
180o - 90o = 90o so the other two angles must add up to that
|

360o - 60o = 300o

It can be hard to imagine coordinates in your head. Drawing on some paper might help you to visualise the shape
|
If you worked that out without drawing on some paper then very well done!
