Lesson 1: four figure grid reference

I DO: Active listening please

Many maps have a grid of squares drawn on the map to make it easy to find, or locate things. Four figure grid references are the numbers which help us to locate a particular square.
  • The first two numbers tell us how far to go along the bottom or top of the map.
  • The last wo numbers tell us how far to go up the sides of the map.

LESSON 2: six FIGURE GRID REFERENCE

I DO: ACTIVE LISTENING PLEASE

We can find exact points on a map by using six numbers of figures.
  • The first three numbers tell us how far to go along the bottom or top of the map. The third number tells us the number of tenths of a grid square.
  • The last three figures tell us how far to go up the side of the map. The sixth number tells us the number of tenths of the grid square. 
  • On a map you may have to estimate the tenths of each grid square. Remember that five tenths is a half a grid square.
