Town Planning With Grid Mapping
In the worksheet, students assume the role of town planner, responding to issues around an imaginary town. They will need to use their knowledge of grid maps to fill in the blanks on a series of questions.
The worksheet is part of a larger unit designed to teach students how to use grid systems to describe location and directions on maps.
Learning goals
- We are learning to use a grid reference system to describe locations, describe routes using landmarks and directional language.
- We are learning to construct a grid coordinate system and use coordinates and directional language to locate and describe positions.
