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}

Lesson plan

Lesson Plan: Language of Position and Location

Topic

Language of Position and Location

Objectives

Students will be able to identify and use basic positional language (e.g., in front of, behind, next to, above, below).
Students will engage in activities to demonstrate understanding of position and location.
Students will collaborate in pairs to reinforce learning through active participation.

Grade/Age Group

Reception / Kindergarten (Ages 5-6)

Subject

Mathematics

Materials

Positional language cards (with words and images)
Small objects or toys (e.g., blocks, stuffed animals)
Large mats or tables for activities
Whiteboard and markers
Worksheets for follow-up activity (with pictures for students to describe location)

Class Size

20 students

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction	5	Introduce the topic by asking students what they know about positions. Show examples using objects.
2	Direct Instruction	10	Teach key positional language using cards. Demonstrate each term with physical objects.
3	Guided Practice	5	Organize students in pairs. Give each pair an object and ask them to place it according to positional terms you call out.
4	Independent Activity	5	Distribute worksheets with images. Students will draw lines or write to show position based on the prompts.
5	Review and Wrap-Up	5	Gather the class and review each positional term. Ask for examples but do not require presentations. Collect worksheets for feedback.

Assessment

Observe students during pair activity for use of positional language.
Review worksheets to gauge understanding and correct use of language.

Homework

Provide students with a positional language worksheet to complete at home. The worksheet will include exercises for them to describe the position of objects in their home environment. Collect these in the next lesson for assessment without requiring students to present their homework.

Australian Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the Australian Curriculum for Mathematics, focusing on developing students’ understanding of spatial awareness, interpreting and using positional language in real-world contexts.
