Grid Maps
Find and name places with a letter/number grid, like C4.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 3
- A grid divides a map into squares. Letters name the columns across the top, and numbers name the rows down the side.
- To find C4, find column C, then slide down to row 4. Letter first, then number.
- Moving diagonally, like northeast, goes corner to corner: one column over and one row up at the same time.
