You sank my battleship! The iconic cry of the time-honored game, Battleship will be heard in classrooms with this learning game that requires only grid paper, pencils, and an introductory knowledge of the first quadrant of the coordinate...

Learners use grid boxes as a measurement tool and discover how grids are used for mapmaking and scaling down an area. They begin by attempting to draw a model shape drawn by the teacher by using the gridding process. At the conclusion of...

Students demonstrate how to use the global grid system. In this map skills lesson, students use a world map to locate various locations. Students identify locations based on the global grid system. Students complete a worksheet as an...

Does a shape's perimeter always match its area? Learners approach this and other claims in this shape investigation worksheet. Using blank grids, they draw various shapes based on required perimeter and area measurements, labelling the...

Students study map grids and explore how they can be used to locate positions of objects or features on a map. They read a story and then participate in a grid activity using a large map of the setting of the story.

Third graders make a grid map. In this directionality activity, 3rd graders review how to use a grid to locate objects or places on a map. Students draw a grid map of the classroom and locate seating assignments. Students create a grid...

Students practice their drawing skills. In this drawing skills lesson, students complete a self-observation drawing activity and then 3 methods of figure drawing.

Learners learn how to use a letter and number map grid. In this map grid lesson, students look at a landscape map and describe how to locate the airport. They compare the descriptions of different learners to determine how they are the...

Students examine the variety of materials an artist uses when drawing and consider the impact of the material choice. In this art analysis lesson, students consider the different materials used to make various drawings. Students compare...
