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 house?
- Which square is the rock in? Give the column then the row.
- Is the rock to the left or to the right of the house?
- Is the flower above or below the house?
- What is directly above the apple?
- Which square is the flower in? Give the column then the row.
