Shape and space 108-110: Use the eight compass directions N, S, E, W, NW, NW, SE, SW; Make and measure clockwise and anti-clockwise turns: for example from SW to N; Begin to know that angles are measured in degrees and that one whole turn is 360 degrees or 4 right angles.
NC KS2:
Understanding measures 4c: recognise angles as greater or less than a right angle or half turn. Northern Ireland: Mathematics: KS2: Position, Movement and Direction: Pupils should have opportunities to...
a) understand the notion of angle in the context of turning; understand clockwise and anti-clockwise; know the eight points of the compass.
Scotland: Shape, position and movement: Level B:
Discuss position and movement: - give and understand instructions for turning through right angles; recognise and name the four compass points.
Angles: Use a template to draw or check for a right angle.
Additional information: Megahops: A total of five megahops is awarded in this activity; one for each question answered correctly first time. Related activity information: This activity is the second in a series of five levels which practise angles and turns right up to the point where you need to estimate and measure any angle within 360 degrees.

SEN information
Suitable for some children with Specific Learning Difficulties including Dyscalculia. Children should have a good understanding of all 8 compass points, clockwise/anti-clockwise direction as well as being able to turn full and 1/2 right angles. Download and laminate the 'Compass points' sheet to use as a poster/reference point to aid completion. Text is read for children, which should ensure the activity can be undertaken by children who are not confident readers or who have difficulties with reading, thereby giving all children the opportunity to succeed at the activity and also gain a sense of independence.
