This Year 2 Maths Geometry - Position and Direction workbook is designed to help children develop a secure understanding of movement, turns, patterns, and positional language through clear, engaging activities.

The worksheets gradually build understanding through a range of visual and practical activities. Children are supported in following instructions, interpreting movement, and explaining their thinking using key vocabulary linked to position and direction.

The workbook begins with pattern work to help pupils recognise and describe changes in shape, colour, orientation, and direction. Children then move on to using positional language such as left, right, above, below, between, and next to, applying these terms to real visual contexts.

As the workbook progresses, pupils practise:
Describing the position of objects using correct mathematical language
Following written instructions to draw shapes in specific positions
Continuing and describing repeating patterns involving shapes, colours, arrows, and turns
Moving objects along grids by following step-by-step directional instructions
Using forwards, backwards, left, and right to describe movement on a map
Identifying and describing turns, including quarter turns, half turns, three-quarter turns, and full turns
Understanding clockwise and anti-clockwise movement using clear clock visuals
Drawing the result of a given turn
Writing their own sets of directions to guide someone from one place to another

The activities encourage children not only to follow instructions but also to talk about movement and direction, helping to strengthen reasoning skills and mathematical vocabulary.

With a clean layout and clear instructions, this resource is easy to use in a range of settings and supports children in working independently with confidence.

This resource is ideal for:
Year 2 Maths lessons
Whole-class teaching
Independent practice
Small group work or intervention
Homework and home learning

A practical and engaging Year 2 Position and Direction resource that supports fluency, reasoning, and confidence with movement and turns.

This workbook includes 9 pages of structured position and direction activities.
