**A ready-to-teach Year 6 coordinates lesson focused on finding midpoints, calculating distances and identifying missing coordinates in KS2 maths.

This lesson develops pupils’ understanding of position and direction by applying coordinate skills to line segments and geometric relationships.**

This Year 6 maths lesson focuses on finding midpoints of lines and solving coordinate problems without relying on gridlines.

Pupils use coordinate information to calculate the length of line segments, find the midpoint between two points and identify missing coordinates. The lesson develops pupils’ understanding of how points relate to each other and encourages them to reason about position, distance and patterns.

The activities include finding unknown points from given distances, identifying evenly spaced points and applying coordinate knowledge to solve geometric problems.

Teachers can use the included Smart Notebook input slides to model strategies clearly and guide pupils through structured examples before independent practice.

Pupils then complete a differentiated independent activity designed to support all learners while still providing appropriate challenge. The tasks develop confidence with coordinates, geometry and SATS-style reasoning questions.

This resource is ideal for Year 6 geometry lessons, KS2 reasoning practice, SATS revision or targeted intervention sessions.
