Grid Maps Unit – Year 5

Grid Maps Unit – Year 5 gives teachers a practical teaching-to-assessment sequence for developing coordinate and map-reading skills. Students locate features on grids, use columns and rows to identify positions, interpret keys and symbols, follow routes and communicate movement using directional language.

The editable presentation and 10-question quiz are supported by a colour classroom display, a grid-map board game, map-key matching cards, five black-and-white worksheets, matching answer pages, an independent park-design assessment and a five-level marking rubric. Varied map contexts help students transfer their skills across shopping centres, towns, zoos, treasure routes and public spaces.
