Follow-up
• Ask the pairs to prepare their own map. They take turns to give map-
making instructions to their partner, who draws their map on a map-
making grid. When they have finished, they compare maps and check
that their partner has followed their directions.
• If you want to practise other numbers or letters, change the coordinates.
For example, you may want to have numbers from 6 to 10, and letters
from L to P.
