Print one copy of page 8 for every two students. Cut the page
down the middle so that each student can have one copy of the
foldable.
To make the foldable, cut out the large rectangle around the thick
outside edges. Cut on the short solid lines in between each word.
Fold the rectangle in half along the dotted line.
Maps usually have a coordinate grid to help you find places quickly.
The coordinate grid divides the map into spaces. A grid uses lines to make
rows and columns. The rows go from side to side. The columns go from top
to bottom. Every place on a map is in just one row and one column.
Geographers
use pairs of
letters and
numbers to
quickly
identify a
place.
