Idea 2of 12Builds onA start line
Where she is
How do you say where she is?
Today you'll discover
- the two things a place needs
- why 'six metres' is not enough
- why a long walk can end at zero
Think firstShe walked east and stopped
How would you tell a friend where she is?
Decide first, then press Next. A bar measures her from the flag, then names the side.
Amara standing six metres east of a flag on a ground line marked in metres. Pressing Next lays a thick bar along the ground from the flag to her feet labelled six metres east of the flag, then shows the corner note that says east is forward, then walks her back to the flag, where the bar disappears because the gap is nothing. The last step shows a different walk and asks where she is.

The big idea
How far from the start line, and which side: her position.
Easy to get wrongSix metres east of the flag and six metres west of it are different places with the same number. The side is not optional.
Key word
- position
- where something is, as a distance and a direction from the origin
Ready to use it?
- Give a walker's position from the flag, side included.
