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 to the left of the pond?
- Which square is the flower in? Give the column then the row.
- Is the dog to the left or to the right of the pond?
- Is the apple above or below the pond?
- Start at the dog. Move 2 squares right. What is in that square?
- What is directly above the ball?
Sample questions. Each set (A, B, C…) has fresh numbers and a computed answer key.
