Stand up beside your desk. Touch your left ear. Put your right hand on your head. Now try this one: point left with your right hand.
Which way is left? Which way is right? How do you know?
Shapes are already sitting on a grid. Look at each picture. Listen for the position word that tells us exactly where the shape sits.
Be ready to say the position word for each one: left, right, above, below, or between.
Today we place shapes on the grid using position words. Two red squares are already there.
Listen for the position word your teacher calls, then place that one shape. Show your left hand before a left placement and your right hand before a right placement.
In your maths copy, draw a square, then draw a circle to its left.
We place one shape at a time. Read the position word on the board. Hold up your left or right hand before each left or right placement.
