Location on a Grid

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Location on a Grid worksheet also includes:
  • Answer Key
  • Join to access all included materials

This grid features 15 animals, and scholars use a coordinate system to describe the location of each. The x-axis is labelled with letters and the y-axis with numbers, and they list the coordinate pairs beside the animal names below the grid (i.e. mouse: B,2). Use this as an introduction to grids and graphs, as there are only whole numbers and the grid itself is large. Consider creating a large grid (as a class) on the asphalt and announcing coordinates for learners to position themselves in.
