The Sensory Trust are based at the Project and we thought turning the map into a worksheet for co-ordinates and compass directions could be good fun!
This resource contains:
a cover sheet explaining the activity and the answers
co-ordinates worksheet (two different ability levels)
compass directions worksheet (two different ability levels)
This cross-curricular presentation that requires pupils to work out the co-ordinates of locations on the WW2 map of Europe. It covers 4 and 6 figure grid references. There is a clever video link included with this resource to start the lesson.
You could print out the maps for use in lessons, therefore some preparation is required in order to get the best results. There is an extension sheet provided in publisher format.
LO: To use co-ordinates to specify location
LO: To use grid references to specify location
A quick Co-ordinates starter activity.
Choose a kid to give a co-ordinate, you *click* that square, and a symbol will appear. Either a dolphin, shark, treasure chest, coin piles or a 'nothing symbol'.
There are two variations, depending on how much time you have. A 6x4 grid or a 8x6 grid.
(Note: If you want to edit the map to use a second time: Make sure you move the square behind as well as the picture.)
A super fun, well planned and engaging lesson that teaches and uses map skills to track down Santa’s lost presents. The lesson starts with a complete walk through on map reading and then has different activities that can be displayed on the board. It could easily take up 2 lessons depending on prior ability or speed you cover the mapping intro.
Suitable for KS3, KS4 and KS5 groups the lesson includes activities where students need to give 6 figure (or 4 if you prefer) grid references for the lost presents as well as answer questions about their location, measure distances and map symbols.
This lesson is a perfect way to have some Christmas themed fun but keep students learning and practice skills that are useful in exams.

Merry Christmas!
These printables will help your children to reinforce their learning when it comes to directions.
There are printables that help children to think of the directions up, down, left and right. Have your child find their way from the ship to the lighthouse around the maze and then write down the directions they took to get there. You can also use the cardinal directions of North, South, East and West.
Then your child can follow the directions given by the arrows to navigate around a grid and land on different coloured squares.
Your child will navigate around a nautical themed map to end up at different points then write their own directions using the four main compass point directions.
Finally, help your child understand co-ordinates by having them follow the co-ordinates to draw a line to discover the shape in each grid.
