Description
This teacher’s guide for ages 6–12 outlines a 35–45-minute introductory lesson that moves from hands-on movement or manipulatives to guided practice, plotting, and coordinate routes. Children practise horizontal and vertical directions, identifying the origin, reading grid labels, plotting ordered pairs, and connecting points into shapes. Adaptations help teachers adjust access and challenge, while a five-skill check helps capture what learners can demonstrate. Reach for this lesson when introducing coordinate grids or building navigation and spatial reasoning skills.
