Finding a Spot on a Map Worksheet

The single page is headed as a map-location activity and gives a direct instruction to write coordinates for town places shown on the visual map. Learners must pair the map’s grid references with the labeled locations rather than plotting new points from a list. This supports systematic horizontal-and-vertical lookup in a practical town context. The task centres on locating existing places rather than plotting new points or drawing a route across the town.
