Learning Intention: We are learning how to make and read grid maps.
Success Criteria:
I can make my own grid map using grid references (letters and numbers)
I can add landmarks to my map.
I can create a Key to help explain the landmarks.
I can give directions using the grid map references (hot chilli level)
Activity:
Students create their own grid map using toys etc. from around their home. Firstly, students need to create a grid set up labeled with letters and numbers. This could be done on a desk, in a sandpit or with chalk on a path in their backyard. (See examples below) A grip of approx. 8X8 would be ideal but they are welcome to make it smaller or larger. Students can place different items in their map in different grid locations. They can then make a Key on a piece of poster paper or in their maths book to match. They can then write references to their items eg: the teddy bear is at C4. As an extension they may like to write questions to ask family members eg: What is at G7? Or Where is the Lego truck located?
