| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

Describing Position Following Instructions and Grid-Coordinates
Any grade (suitable for primary and early secondary levels)
Mathematics
30 minutes
20 students
This lesson aligns with the Australian Mathematics Curriculum, specifically in the areas of location and transformation (Geometry).
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 minutes | Introduce the concept of coordinates and grids; explain their importance in describing position. |
| 2 | Demonstration | 10 minutes | Use the large grid paper/whiteboard to demonstrate how to locate points using coordinates. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 5 minutes | Provide students with simple coordinate tasks to practice in pairs, guiding them as necessary. |
| 4 | Independent Practice | 5 minutes | Distribute worksheets for individual practice on grid coordinates and describing positions. |
| 5 | Review and Q&A | 3 minutes | Review key concepts and answer any questions. Students can ask for clarification on homework if needed. |
| 6 | Homework Assignment Explanation | 2 minutes | Explain the homework task clearly without students needing to present it to the class. |
Students will complete a worksheet involving grid coordinates and positions to reinforce the lesson's content. The worksheets will be collected for marking without students needing to present their answers in class.
