Support your Year 1 pupils in developing a secure understanding of position and direction through engaging, interactive activities that encourage discussion, reasoning and problem-solving. Designed for use on interactive whiteboards, computers and tablets, this browser-based game provides a fun way to reinforce key mathematical concepts while keeping children actively involved in their learning.

Throughout the activities, pupils will develop their understanding of:

Positional language including above, below, left, right, forwards and backwards.
Quarter, half, three-quarter and whole turns.
Following and describing routes using directional language.
Recognising and describing movement and position.
Spatial awareness and mathematical vocabulary.
Counting spaces accurately to navigate routes.
Logical thinking, prediction and problem-solving skills.
Applying positional language in a variety of engaging contexts.

This resource supports the Year 1 National Curriculum for Mathematics (Geometry – Position and Direction) and is ideal for:

Whole-class teaching on an interactive whiteboard.
Small-group and intervention sessions.
Independent practice.
Maths starters and plenaries.
Continuous provision.
Home learning.
