Already proven in the classroom to learn:
• Developing Geographical Skills
• Developing Mathematical Reasoning
• Use everyday words to describe position
• Describe the position of objects and direction
• Follow and give instructions using position, direction and movement
• Use four compass points to describe movement about a grid
• Primer for spreadsheet work in later life
Numbers and Grids will help children to learn about grids/tables and co-ordinates. It is a key skill for children to know, and one that isn't covered by many apps. Children will use co-ordinates in graphs and charts, in mathematics, and they are also used in geography and maps, on GPS devices and of course in IT when using spreadsheets. Co-ordinates are a very important mathematical skill for young children to have, and to build on as they grow, and that is why the topic is part of the curricular used in schools.
