Grid Maps
Find places with a letter-number grid, like B3.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 5
- Some maps have a grid: lines that make squares. Letters name the columns across the top. Numbers name the rows down the side.
- To find square B3, find column B at the top, then slide down to row 3. Letter first, then number!
- A grid helps you find a place fast, and tell a friend exactly where it is.
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies:
- MGS.3 — Map and Globe Skill 3: use a letter/number grid system to determine location (introduced in Grade 2)
