Download and Print: Click the button below to download the worksheet. Print out multiple copies to provide
ample practice opportunities for your students.
-
Introduction to Coordinates: Begin by introducing students to the concept of coordinates and grid referencing. Explain how the grid is organized, with numbers representing rows and letters representing columns.
-
Exploring the Grid: Students examine the grid filled with various shapes, including stars, squares, circles, and more. Each shape corresponds to a specific coordinate within the grid.
-
Finding Coordinates: At the bottom of the worksheet, students encounter a duplicate shape alongside a space to write its coordinates. Using their grid skills, students locate the shape within the grid and determine its row and column coordinates.
-
Writing Coordinates: Once students have identified the shape's position within the grid, they write down its coordinates using the format of a letter representing the column and a number representing the row. For example, if the shape is located at the intersection of column H and row 5, the coordinates would be written as H5.
-
Practice and Reinforcement: Encourage students to work through multiple examples, gradually increasing the complexity of the shapes and coordinates. Provide support and guidance as needed to ensure understanding.
