Lesson objectives:

Knowledge:

All will understand you can give your position using a grid reference

Most will explain some tasks/jobs that require a grid reference to be used

Skills:

All will be able to give a 4 figure grid reference

Most will be able to give 4 & 6 figure grid references

Some will combine grid references & direction to give a location on a map

Keywords for today's lesson:

Compass

Key phrase for today:

“Along the corridor and up the stairs”

First, let’s revise our compass directions …

4 Figure Grid References

Used in Ordnance Survey maps to locate a position

Northings

They run from North to South

Eastings

They run from one West to East

Grid References

Joined together they form a grid

Co-ordinates

These help us identify the line by having a number on them

We do the same with the Eastings

6 Figure References

These are used to give an accurate position. Usually accurate to a 100

metres.

A 6 Figure reference looks like this

Grid Reference Northings and Eastings

How do we get a 4 figure Grid Reference?

First we identify the square like we did before

Square 2402

We divide the square up into 10 equal linesEastings

Square 2402

Now we add the Northings

The Square 2402

Now we add the Northings and Easting numbers

We read the Easting first = 24Next we read the Northing = 02

Reading the reference

Reading the reference

Now we have the Northing and Easting numbers, write it down like this

number and last number shown in yellow

1. Like in the grid before read the Eastings first

2.Then read the Northings

= 5

= 4

Now What?

REMEMBER

24 025 4

1.Easting

2. Northing

Then we put the Northing 4 into the last place

We put the easting 5 into the third space

The 6 figure reference

The reference is now complete
