Position and Location Foundation Unit

A complete Foundation mathematics unit for teaching positional language, left and right, spatial clues and simple directions through editable lessons, games, differentiated worksheets and assessment.

Full Description

The Position and Location Foundation Unit gives teachers a coherent five-lesson sequence for early spatial learning. Students use familiar language to describe where objects are, identify left and right, match pictures to positional words, follow one-step and multi-step directions, and trace simple routes through classroom, playground, animal and park contexts.

The editable presentation supports explicit instruction and discussion, while the editable quiz provides 10 question-and-answer pairs for review. Two colourful displays reinforce vocabulary. Two multi-page games support oral language and collaborative practice. Six worksheet titles provide supported, core and independent practice, with eight matching worksheet answer pages. A two-page assessment, two assessment answer pages and an A4 landscape five-level rubric complete the unit.
