Draw a map of your backyard using the grid paper in your Maths book. Mark where the treasure can be found (X marks the spot!)
Write out directions for someone else to find your treasure. Have a look at the video by Pirate Westbeard and Captain Billbeard. Don’t forget to test your directions by following them yourself. You might need to adjust some of your directions to help your friend find the treasure.
