Locating a point on a grid is an important skill to master; use this practice sheet to give schlars some clear and useful experience. On a large, simple grid they use a coordinate system to find specific squares and color them a given color (i.e. "green at F,2"). There are 12 points total and an example to help them get started. Try playing a big game of Battleship as a fun way to solidify this concept, possibly setting up a large version in the classroom.
