Step-by-step solution for: Festive six-figure grid references | Geography resources | Teachit
To solve the problem of finding the six-figure grid references for the festive shapes in the image, we need to follow these steps:
- The grid is composed of horizontal and vertical lines that divide it into squares.
- The numbers along the bottom (horizontal axis) represent the eastings (first three digits of the grid reference).
- The numbers along the side (vertical axis) represent the northings (last three digits of the grid reference).
We will locate each festive shape on the grid and determine its corresponding grid reference by combining the easting and northing values.
