Let's solve the
Map Grid worksheet step by step.

🔍 Understanding the Grid
The map is a 5x5 grid with:
-
Columns labeled A to E (left to right)
-
Rows labeled 1 to 5 (bottom to top)
We use coordinates like
"A5", which means column A, row 5.
There’s a
key on the right that shows what each symbol represents:
- Tree 🌳
- Ice cream 🍦
- Park bench 🪑
- Play area 🎠
- Trash can 🗑️
- Fountain 💧
- Bridge 🌉
---
✔ Step-by-step: Find the locations
We are given:
>
Play area: B4, E2
This matches the two play areas on the map:
- One at
B4 (column B, row 4)
- One at
E2 (column E, row 2)
Now let’s find the rest:
---
#### 1.
Ice cream 🍦
- Look for the ice cream icon.
- It's in
column A, row 2 →
A2
✔ Ice cream: A2
---
#### 2.
Trash can 🗑️
- Look for the trash can.
- It's in
column D, row 1 →
D1
✔ Trash can: D1
---
#### 3.
Fountain 💧
- The fountain is in
column C, row 3 →
C3
✔ Fountain: C3
---
#### 4.
Park bench 🪑
- The park bench is in
column C, row 1 →
C1
✔ Park bench: C1
---
#### 5.
Tree 🌳
- There are
three trees on the map:
- One at
A5
- One at
A3
- One at
E4
So we list all three locations.
✔ Tree: A5, A3, E4
---
✔ Final Answers:
| Item | Location |
|--------------|---------------------|
|
Play area | B4, E2 |
|
Ice cream |
A2 |
|
Trash can |
D1 |
|
Fountain |
C3 |
|
Park bench |
C1 |
|
Tree |
A5, A3, E4 |

📝 Summary
Use the coordinate system (column + row) to locate items:
-
Column letter first, then
row number
- Example:
C3 = Column C, Row 3
This helps develop
map skills and
spatial awareness.
