1. 1cm Grid on Map Handout

OBJECTIVE: [#To review the use of coordinates for specifying locations; #To use coordinates to specify directions and distance; #To connect properties of geometric shapes, such as parallel sides, to coordinate representations.] OBJECTIVE: See 4-25 above. ACTIVITIES: Starting from the lower left hand corner and using a ruler: Set up a grid with alphabetical label on the x axis and numerical labels on the y axis. (remember, the lower LEFT hand corner is the origin. Locate the points (letter,number)listed on the board/overhead. NOTES: Relates to ACE 2, 9-11. HOMEWORK: Place Oak Harbor on the map, give its coordinates. Make a table showing the measurement to the other points above in centimeters. If Mount Vernon to Everett is 32 miles, use proportion to add a third column to the table for straight line scale distances. Draw a scale box on the map and label it.
