Assessment
Learning Outcome 3: The learner will be able to describe and represent characteristics and relationships between two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects in a variety of orientations and positions.
Assessment Standard 3.8: We know this when the learner locates positions on a coded grid, describe how to move between positions on the grid, and recognises maps as grids.
