How it works

Pupils play a postie in a small village. Each question gives the name of a place (the school, the bakery, the bridge…) and pupils find it on the map, then enter its address (x, y) with two large + and - buttons. Right or wrong, the game answers at once. After a mistake, a hint appears; after a second mistake, the correction replays the method on the map: move along x first, then up or down along y. A short timer, a streak counter and sound effects keep the pace up, and a plush animal postie guides the round.

The Village Map activity (included in the demo)

• 10 questions per game, in 4 kinds: addresses, “what is here?”, quadrants and streets
• Every place on the map has an (x, y) address, in all four quadrants
• Right-angle thinking: x first, then y, always shown in the correction
• Score and “mission accomplished” screen at the end of each game

Try it at your own level

• Level 1: positives only (0 to 5)
• Level 2: progressive (0 to 5, then -5 to 5)
• Level 3: complete (-5 to 5)
• Level 4: scale of 2 (-10 to 10)
• Zen practice mode: no timer, with hints, no pressure

For every learner

• Dyslexia-friendly font and spacing, three text sizes
• Read-aloud button on every question
• No precise pointing needed: two big + and - buttons per axis
• Music and sound effects can be switched off

Requirements

An up-to-date browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari). Works offline once downloaded. Pupil privacy: the demo asks only for a first name and sends nothing to any server.

Curriculum

Year 6 four-quadrant coordinates and Year 7 directed numbers and coordinates (National Curriculum for England). Alignment is a guide, not an official certification.
