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

Topic

Direction on a Grid

Objectives

• Understand the concept of direction and coordinates on a grid.
• Identify and describe positions using grid references (e.g., (2, 3)).
• Apply the concepts of up, down, left, and right to navigate a grid.

Materials

• Graph paper
• Ruler
• Markers or colored pencils
• Whiteboard and markers
• Worksheets with grid coordinates
• Projector (if available)

Grade/Age Group

• Any grade level (flexible to student understanding)

Subject

• Mathematics

Class Size

• 20 students

Length of Lesson

• 30 minutes

National Curriculum Alignment

• The lesson aligns with the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics standards for understanding location and spatial awareness.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (mins)	Details
1	Introduction to Directions	5	Introduce the topic by discussing directions using a compass. Explain the significance of coordinates on a grid. Ask students if they are familiar with maps and coordinates.
2	Understanding the Grid	10	Show a large grid on the whiteboard. Explain the x-axis and y-axis and provide examples of coordinates. Demonstrate how to plot points on the grid. Allow students to practice plotting a few points together.
3	Interactive Grid Activity	10	Distribute graph paper and markers. Provide students with grid coordinates to plot. In pairs, have them create a simple map using the coordinates. Encourage them to label directions (up, down, left, right).
4	Review and Q&A	3	Gather students' attention and ask specific questions about what they learned. Clarify doubts and reinforce key concepts.
5	Homework Assignment	2	Assign homework that requires students to create their own grid with 5 coordinates and directions. Explain that they will submit it in the next class without presentations.

Homework

• Create a grid on graph paper with at least 5 coordinates and indicate the direction to reach each point. Submit in the next class.

Assessment

• Monitor students' participation during the interactive activity.
• Review the homework submitted for understanding and correctness without public presentations.
