Pictures on a grid: write their coordinates (x, y), or plot points yourself. Along the corridor, then up the stairs!
Coordinates are how maps, games and graphs say exactly where something is. A point is written as a pair (x, y): first how far across, then how far up. Children often swap the two numbers, so these sheets give lots of practice in the right order. The first level uses a small 5×5 grid with big pictures; the second a 10×10 grid with ten pictures; and the third reverses the task, asking children to plot lettered points from their coordinates.
Best for ages 8–12
Always x, the horizontal one, then y, the vertical one: (across, up).
No, these grids use only the first quadrant (0 to 5 or 0 to 10), as in primary school.
Yes: the coordinates for the reading levels, and the grid with the points plotted for the plotting level.
