Hello everyone!
Let’s focus on Coordinates.
Click on the Sway below to see some fun and challenging activities that you can do at home to improve your Numeracy skills.
Please comment and let us know which activities you have been working on.
Hopefully you have spotted the task on the grid about drawing a map. Map reading and map making are both very important skills to learn. Sometimes the biggest challenge is understanding a map as surprisingly every map is different. So our first challenge is to read and understand the map we plan to use. I found a number of different maps in my house and have added these below for you to look at.
What information do they all have?
What similarities do they have?
Can you spot any major differences?
Is there anything that is unique to each or one map?
See below for some map making and map reading tasks, feel free to do more than one task. I have added some already sent into Seesaw so thank you to those pupils who have shared these.
Task 1 – Describe a journey
Describe the journey you would normally take to a friend’s house/shop/school or favourite place from your home. If possible, pace it or walk it to help you describe it easily. You could draw it out as a map and add some noticeable buildings or points of interest to your map or you could make a fantastic leaflet or map like the examples below.
Use words such as –
Task 2 – Using a map
Choose 5- 8 cities or towns in Scotland and try and work out how far these are from your home. You could use Google maps, a real map or similar and record the data collected in a table. See below for an example already posted to Seesaw.
Answer these questions –
Task 3 – Online mapping activities

Hey Everyone!

The Royal Mint – Different Types of Coins
I made a tuck shop at home. I picked out items to sell and created my own price list.
I then opened the shop up to customers (my family). They were to pick one item and then pay using a £1 coin. I then had to work out how much change they would get back.
I used the ’empty number line’ method to work out their change. After doing this a few times I became more confident and could then use this method in my own head.
I then extended my shop, adding more items and creating a new price list.
During this game the customer was allowed to pick a few items. I then had to add them up to see how much the total cost would be. To do this I separated the numbers into tens and units to make the addition part easier to visualise. Again, this process became easier in my head after practising on paper first.
There are so many strategies we can use to add and subtract. See how many you can use for this task. You might have a favourite method. Let your teacher know it! 😊
