How to teach it
Read a simple grid map, naming what is above, below, left and right of a landmark, giving the column then row of a square, and following a path (so many squares right and down).
Worked example
Common mistake
Left and right depend on the viewer, and grid squares are read across (column) then up or down (row), not the other way around.
What's inside
- What is directly below the ball?
- Which square is the house in? Give the column then the row.
- Is the flag to the left or to the right of the dog?
- Is the flag above or below the flower?
- Start at the house. Move 3 squares right. What is in that square?
- What is directly to the right of the pond?
