Mark the Map
This worksheet provides opportunities for students to practice labelling a grid reference on a map, then mark a route that follows a set of directions to locate buried treasure. This worksheet is part of a larger Year 3- Marvellous Mapping Unit.
Learning goals
- We are learning to read simple grid maps and show the positions and pathways.
- We are learning to create and interpret two-dimensional representations, e.g. maps and follow directions to familiar locations.
