No, not battle ships – ‘Battle Shapes’ instead.

In mathematics lessons this week, Phase 3 pupils have been exploring coordinates – what they are: plotting, reading and in some cases translating shapes (using them as a set of instructions).

In the pictures above you can see the pupils battling each other in a game of Battle Shapes – plotting a shape of their own, on a 4 quadrant grid, before setting about trying to hit the key coordinates of their opponent’s chosen shape. Great fun was had by all and everyone was wiser about coordinates by the end of the lesson.

COULD YOU PLAY A GAME OF BATTLE SHAPES?

DO YOU KNOW THAT THE CORRIDOR SHOULD BE WALKED ALONG BEFORE YOU GO UPSTAIRS OR TRAVEL TO THE BASEMENT?
