This incorrect for teaching co-ordinates and frustrating for me as this is exactly the bad habits that I spend most of time drilling out of kids in secondary school. Co-ordinates lie on the lines, not in the gaps. This is map reading and should be kept purely to geography.

I found this activity a simple way to explain coordinates to students who have learning difficulties and are in Year 6.

I like the idea and the symbols, however this may confuse children when using co-ordinates as they are rarely in the squares themselves. Graphs, maps etc, all usual forms of co-ordinates have the numbers (and symbols) on the lines themselves.

My apologies.... Resource had a fault associated with new version of Word (.docx file) so I've saved it as a compatible '97-2003 file (.doc) so it should work fine now.
Please let me know if this is not the case and I will try to resolve any problems.
