Numeracy

FOCUS: To read maps and street directories for practical purposes

WARM UP

Play battleships with a partner Draw up a 9 x 9 grid in your maths book and play with a partner If you need instructions, research..... Google - 'BATTLE SHIP INSTRUCTIONS FOR KIDS'

WHERE WOULD I USE MAPS AND STREET DIRECTIONS IN REAL LIFE?

INDEPENDENT ACTIVITIES

Find the map of Wyndham on your iPad Locate your home and other places of interest for you Choose 5 destinations and write the grid references for each destination in your numeracy work books

EXTENSION

Record directions of how to reach each destination from a common location You can choose another area rather then Wyndham

REFLECTION

Was it easier to use a hard copy map or an interactive, copy to find your landmarks? Why do you think this was the case?
