We are developing our spatial awareness skills in Maths at the moment. The children practiced the skills they've been working on today using treasure maps! We are doing the Pirate theme for the next few weeks, and this was a fun way to tie it into other subjects.
In pairs, the children drew a treasure island map, including dangerous areas to avoid like snakes, volcanoes and scary locals. Then they had to guide their partner to where they had hidden the treasure using spatial awareness vocab, e.g. left, right, up, down, beside, above... It was also a great opportunity to practice counting and estimating how many boxes they had to move!
