Australian Curriculum Year 5 ACMMG113 Use a grid reference system to describe loca4ons. Describe routes using landmarks and direc4onal language. General Capabili4es Using spa4al reasoning This element involves students in making sense of the space around them. Students visualise, iden4fy and sort shapes and objects, describing their key features in the environment. They use symmetry, shapes and angles to solve problems in authen4c contexts and interpret maps and diagrams, using scales, legends and direc4onal language to iden4fy and describe routes and loca4ons. In developing and ac4ng with numeracy, students: visualise 2D shapes and 3D objects interpret maps and diagrams. Key Ideas What is a map? A representa4on, usually on a flat surface, as of the features of an area of the earth or a por4on of the heavens, showing them in their respec4ve forms, sizes, and rela4onships according to some conven4on of representa4on: compare aerial views of maps with grid referencesncreate a grid reference system locate objects and describe routes from one object to another using grid reference system iden4fy and use direc4onal language including compass points use scale, direc4on and coordinates on maps Context for Learning Real life experiences: The purpose of this MAG is to ensure that students understand that the purpose of map grids are to specify loca4on and direc4on. They will learn how to use a compass to determine direc4on and how to read and interpret scale on maps. The MAG is divided into 3 concepts 1.Grid References 2.Direc4on 3.Scale Ac4vity Process: Introduc4on The purpose of this ac4vity is to establish a real life context for this concept Tell the class You have ordered a pizza home delivery and the driver is new to the area. You have to explain to him over the telephone where your house is. He may or may not have access to a street map, but you need to say where your house is. Ask students for responses. Determine the level of understanding through the language of direc4on used. Add direc4onal language to a chart for future reference. Discuss how difficult this task is without direc4ons which are referenced to a map to follow. You could give the students the following example also… Resources FISH local street directories maps/atlases iPpads grid paper Compasses Vocabulary grid, loca4on, direc4on, reference, alphanumeric, north, south, east, west, leU, right, point, landmark, up, down, clockwise, an4clockwise, degree, turn, route, maps, compass, compass rose, column, row, coordinates, angle, scale, mul4ply, ra4o, Cartesian plane, Cartesian co ordinates, point, ordered pairs, topographical Show students image 1 and ask them how they could verbally explain the loca4on of the red oval to someone over the telephone who cannot see the image. From student sugges4ons, draw out the idea that distances could be marked horizontally and ver4cally, and we could use the resul4ng array (as in Image 2) to say where the red oval is. 1 2

Australian  Curriculum  Year  5    ACMMG113  -­‐  Use  a  grid  reference  system  to  describe  loca4ons.  Describe  routes  using  landmarks  and  direc4onal  language.    General  Capabili4es  -­‐  Using  spa4al  reasoning  This  element  involves  students  in  making  sense  of  the  space  around  them.  Students  visualise,  iden4fy  and  sort  shapes  and  objects,  describing  their  key  features  in  the  environment.  They  use  symmetry,  shapes  and  angles  to  solve  problems  in  authen4c  contexts  and  interpret  maps  and  diagrams,  using  scales,  legends  and  direc4onal  language  to  iden4fy  and  describe  routes  and  loca4ons.  In  developing  and  ac4ng  with  numeracy,  students:  ·∙    visualise  2D  shapes  and  3D  objects  ·∙    interpret  maps  and  diagrams.      

Key  Ideas  What  is  a  map?    A  representa4on,  usually  on  a  flat  surface,  as  of  the  features  of  an  area  of  the  earth  or  a  por4on  of  the  heavens,  showing  them  in  their  respec4ve  forms,  sizes,  and  rela4onships  according  to  some  conven4on  of  representa4on:  compare  aerial  views  of  maps  with  grid  referencesncreate  a  grid  reference  system    locate  objects  and  describe  routes  from  one  

object  to  another  using  grid  reference  system  iden4fy  and  use  direc4onal  language  including  compass  points  use  scale,  direc4on  and  coordinates  on  maps    

Context  for  Learning  -­‐  Real  life  experiences:  The  purpose  of  this  MAG  is  to  ensure  that  students  understand  that  the  purpose  of  map  grids  are  to  specify  loca4on  and  direc4on.  They  will  learn  how  to  use  a  compass  to  determine  direc4on  and  how  to  read  and  interpret  scale  on  maps.    The  MAG  is  divided  into  3  concepts  -­‐    1.Grid  References  2.Direc4on  3.Scale    

             Ac4vity  Process:  Introduc4on    

The  purpose  of  this  ac4vity  is  to  establish  a  real  life  context  for  this  concept      Tell  the  class  -­‐  You  have  ordered  a  pizza  home  delivery  and  the  driver  is  new  to  the  area.    You  have  to  explain  to  him    over  the  telephone  where  your  house  is.  He  may  or  may  not  have  access  to  a  street  map,    but  you  need  to  say  where  your  house  is.        

Ask  students  for  responses.    Determine  the  level  of  understanding  through  the  language  of  direc4on  used.    Add  direc4onal  language  to  a  chart  for  future  reference.    Discuss  how  difficult  this  task  is  without  direc4ons  which  are  referenced  to  a  map  to  follow.  You  could  give  the  students  the  following  example  also…      

Resources  •  FISH  •  local  street  directories  •  maps/atlases  •  iPpads  •  grid  paper  •  Compasses      Vocabulary  grid,  loca4on,  direc4on,  reference,  alphanumeric,  north,  south,  east,  west,  leU,  right,  point,  landmark,  up,  down,  clockwise,  an4clockwise,  degree,    turn,  route,  maps,  compass,  compass  rose,  column,  row,  coordinates,  angle,    scale,  mul4ply,  ra4o,  Cartesian  plane,  Cartesian  co-­‐ordinates,  point,  ordered  pairs,  topographical  

Show  students  image  1  and  ask  them  how  they  could  verbally  explain  the  loca4on  of  the  red  oval  to  someone  over  the  telephone  who  cannot  see  the  image.  From  student  sugges4ons,  draw  out  the  idea  that  distances  could  be  marked  horizontally  and  ver4cally,  and  we  could  use  the  resul4ng  array  (as  in  Image  2)    to  say  where  the  red  oval  is.

                 Ac4vity  Process:  Mystery  Picture  Discuss  the  term  Ordered  Pairs.    Ordered  pairs  are  2  numbers  wriZen  in  a  certain  order,  usually  in  brackets.    This  is  relevant  to  using  grid  references  as  the  ‘x-­‐axis    (horizontal)  is  wriZen  first  and  the  ‘y’-­‐axis  (ver4cal)  is  second  -­‐  eg.    (12,5)  means  12  on  the  ‘x’  axis  and  5  on  the  ‘y’  axis.    It  is  used  to  determine  a  definite  point  on  a  map  or  grid.  This  is  also  known  as  Cartesian  Co-­‐ordinates.    Use  the  following  link  for  a  demonstra4on  on  the  IWB.  hZp://www.mathsisfun.com/data/cartesian-­‐coordinates.html      Play  Interac4ve  Cartesian  Points  hZp://www.mathsisfun.com/data/cartesian-­‐coordinates-­‐interac4ve.html      

Prac4se  using  Grid  references  by  comple4ng  a  Mystery  Picture  -­‐  for  example  hZp://www.superteacherworksheets.com/mystery-­‐graph-­‐picture/sailboat-­‐easy-­‐graph_WQWQD.pdf                  

Using  Street  Directories    (Ac;vity  adapted  from  EdRugby  Online  Educa;onal  Resource  -­‐  Part  3  Using  a  Street  Directory)  Provide  students  with  a  copy  of  the  street  directory  in  the  resource  hZp://www.rugby.com.au/Portals/18/Files/Teachers/ClassroomResources/edrugby/EdRugby_Geeng_to_Game.pdf    Ask  the  ques4on:  What  informa4on  does  this  type  of  map  provide?    Some  common  responses  may  include  streets,  parks,  roads,  rivers  and  motorways.  You  may  need  to  prompt  students  for  addi4onal  responses  such  as  numbers,  symbols,  leZers,  scale,  a  key  and  links  to  other  maps.    Discuss  the  features  of  the  map  with  the  class.      Some  suggested  ques4ons    may  include:  How  do  I  know  where  a  post  office  is?  Can  you  find  a  fire  sta4on?  How  do  you  describe  the  loca4on  of  the  golf  course?  If  I  wanted  to  locate  a  feature  precisely,  how  could  I  do  that?  Typical  responses  may  include  looking  for  the  name  on  the  map,  look  for  symbols  and  use  the  key.  Discuss  each  of  the  features  men4oned,  asking  the  class  to  suggest  the  purpose  for  each  feature.      

Iden4fy  the  alpha-­‐numeric  grid  as  an  example  of  one  of  the  map  features.  Explain  that  the  alpha-­‐numeric  grid  helps  the  reader  to  find  places  on  the  map.    Show  students  how  to  find  the  loca4on  of  the  following  on  the  map  by  reading  the  alpha  numeric  grid  together.  For  example  Stadium  Australia  is  found  at  grid  loca4on  K1.        

We  could  say  that  the  red  oval  is  in  the  second  column  from  the  leU  and  that  it  is  in  the  third  row  from  the  top.  Observe  that  it  would  also  be  helpful  to  label  the  rows  and  columns,  so  everyone  can  work  out  which  one  is  intended.  Note  that  real  maps  have  a  grid  with  labels  (Image  3)  Source  hZp:/  /bit.ly/1BimsXK    

             Ac4vity  Process:  1  -­‐    GRID  REFERENCES  The  purpose  of  these  ac4vi4es  are  to  establish  the  use  of  grid  references  to  locate  and  give  direc4ons.    

Play  Find  the  Shape  to  illustrate  to  learners  that  using  a  map  with  a  grid  would  help  the  pizza  delivery  scenario  and  make  it  easier  to  give  direc4ons.    Divide  learners  into  pairs  and  number  them  1  and  2  for  easy  reference.  Ask  each  member  of  the  class  to  draw  a  grid  with  grid  references.    Explain  if  necessary  how  to  reference  a  grid.    

Number  1  draws  shapes  on  their  grid  and  then  describes  it  to  their  partner  number  2  using  only  grid  references.    The  partner  draws  the  shapes  in  the  respec4ve  cells  according  to  the  described  grid  references.  Alternate  roles  and  repeat.  Examples  of  descrip4on:  draw  a  green  circle  in  B4.        Teacher  anecdotally  will  be  listening  and  looking  for:    

•  Expressive  use  of  and  recep4ve  understanding  of  basic  loca4on  and  direc4on  concepts  

•  Expressive  ability  to  give  one,  two,  three  or  more  step  direc4ves  

•  Recep4ve  ability  to  follow  one,  two,  three  or  more  step  direc4ves

Ask  students  to  record  the  grid  references  for  the  following  features:  –  Sydney  Aqua4c  Centre  –  Lidcome  railway  sta4on    –  Tennis  Centre  –  Paddy’s  Market  –  Olympic  Park  railway  sta4on  Ask  students  to  iden4fy  the  features  found  in  the  following  grid  loca4ons:  –  M16  –  C16  –  L4  –  B5  –  Q5  Ask  students  to  locate  Myrna  Road  Homebush  (Q16)  and  Stadium  Australia  (Telstra  Stadium)  (K1)  on  the  map.  Imagine  a  person  walking  from  Myrna  Road  to  Stadium  Australia  (Telstra  Stadium).  Trace  the  journey  on  the  map  using  a  pen  or  pencil.    Record  the  direc4ons  in  a  series  of  sentences,  iden4fying  landmarks  and    streets  they  would  pass.  For  example:  1.  Walk  all  the  way  to  the  end  of  Myrna  Road  (crossing  Ada  Avenue    on  the  way)  un4l  you  get  to  Newton  Street.    2.  Turn  leU  and  walk  un4l  you  pass  a  church  on  the  right  hand  side,  then  turn  right  down  Pemberton  Street  etc    Ac4vity  Process:  Using  Other  Maps    hZp://bit.ly/1nUDiSg  Use  this  map  of  the  Cairns  Botanical  Gardens  to  demosntrate  on  an  IWB  how  to  use  grid  references  to  find  the  loca4on  of  specific  plant/flower  species  hZp://www.cairns.qld.gov.au/cbg/whats-­‐on/whats-­‐flowering          

Ac4vity  Process:  -­‐    DIRECTIONS    The  purpose  of  this  ac4vity  is  to  introduce  the  use  of  compasses  and  how  to  use  them  to  give  and  follow  direc4ons.      Play  North,  South,  East,  West  to  determine  if  students  have  an  understanding  of  the  direc4ons.    Show  students  where  these  direc4ons  are  in  the  classroom.    Ask  them  to  choose  one  and  stand  in  that  part  of  the  room.    Teacher    calls  out  a  compass  point  and  those  standing  in  that  part  of  the  room  are  out.    Con4nue  un4l  only  one  student  is  leU.    

Using  Compasses    Students  work  in  pairs  or  small  groups  depending  on  the  number  of  compasses  available.  Groups  stand  in  different  parts  of  the  room  with  a  compass.  Each  group  finds  the  direc4on  of  North  and  marks  the  direc4on  on  the  floor  using  tape.  By  comparing  results,  note  that  the  direc4on  of  north  is  the  same  for  everyone  (all  the  tapes  should  be  parallel).  This  could  be  further  verified  by  moving  outside  the  classroom,  preferably  to  a  place  where  the  direc4on  of  the  tapes  can  s4ll  be  seen.  Ask  student  how  to  iden4fy  the  direc4on  of  South,  without  using  the  compass.    Repeat  this  for  East  with  the  compass  and  West  without  it.  Giving  direc4ons  Next,  focus  on  North,  South,  East  and  West  in  following  instruc4ons.  Suitable  ac4vi4es  would  include:  Students  are  given  direc4ons  to  follow.  For  example,  Walk  3  paces  North,  3  paces  East  then  3  paces  West.  Where  are  the  students  now,  compared  to  their  star4ng  point?  (It  is  worthwhile  drawing  this  on  a  map.)          

Aerial  Views  Display  an  aerial  photograph.    Ask  the  students  to  try  and  draw  a  map  for  the  area  shown  on  the  map.  This  can  be  done  by  simply  looking  at  the  photo,  and  reproducing  the  shapes  onto  paper  in  rela4on  to  the  grid  references,  or  by  laying  a  piece  of  transparent  film  (OHP  film)  over  the  photo  and  tracing  over  the  main  shapes,  using  a  suitable  pen  (which  will  not  rub  off).    An  example  can  be  found  here  hZp://educa4on.usgs.gov/lessons/schoolyard/MapSketch.html    Google  Maps  can  be  used.  Use  the  interac4ve  whiteboard  features  to  draw  over  the  top  of  the  map  using  the  whiteboard  pen  tools.  You  could  then  compare  this  to  the  street  map  overlay,  which  Google  provides.      Inves4gate  Topographical  Maps  where  the  land  features  are  colour  coded  according  to  their  height  above  sea  level.    Iden4fy  on  a  chart  the  most  common  colour  for:  Highways  and  Roads  Water  Urban  Areas  Mountains  Forest  Areas

use  alphanumeric  grids  to  locate  and  plot  features  on  a  map?  interpret  and  use  direc4ons  based  on  the  eight  compass  points?  interpret  and  use  simple  scales  on  a  map  read  and  interpret  scales  on  maps  to  work  out  distances  between  loca4ons?  use  grid  references  or  direc4ons  to  locate  places  on  maps?  use  a  variety  of  mapping  skills  to  locate  key  features  on  a  map?  use  grids  and  street  names  to  describe  pathways  through  maps?  use  scale  and  grid  references  when  drawing  maps  of  their  own?                                            Achievement  Standard    By  the  end  of  Year  5,  students  solve  simple  problems  involving  the  four  opera4ons  using  a  range  of  strategies.  They  check  the  reasonableness  of  answers  using  es4ma4on  and  rounding.  Students  iden4fy  and  describe  factors  and  mul4ples.  They  explain  plans  for  simple  budgets.  Students  connect  three-­‐dimensional  objects  with  their  two-­‐dimensional  representa4ons.  They  describe  transforma4ons  of  two-­‐dimensional  shapes  and  iden4fy  line  and  rota4onal  symmetry.  Students  compare  and  interpret  different  data  sets.    Students  order  decimals  and  unit  frac4ons  and  locate  them  on  number  lines.  They  add  and  subtract  frac4ons  with  the  same  denominator.  Students  con4nue  paZerns  by  adding  and  subtrac4ng  frac4ons  and  decimals.  They  find  unknown  quan44es  in  number  sentences.  They  use  appropriate  units  of  measurement  for  length,  area,  volume,  capacity  and  mass,  and  calculate  perimeter  and  area  of  rectangles.  They  convert  between  12  and  24  hour  4me.  Students  use  a  grid  reference  system  to  locate  landmarks.  They  measure  and  construct  different  angles.  Students  list  outcomes  of  chance  experiments  with  equally  likely  outcomes  and  assign  probabili4es  between  0  and  1.  Students  pose  ques4ons  to  gather  data,  and  construct  data  displays  appropriate  for  the  data.    Background  -­‐Teacher  Notes    

Map  skills  as  literacy    

The  skills  needed  to  read  and  interpret  maps  are  a  part  of  visual  literacy-­‐a  set  of  skills  and  habits  of  mind  necessary  to  read  images.  Visual  literacy  means  not  just  decoding  an  image  but  comprehending  it-­‐grasping  the  image’s  intended  meaning,  evalua4ng  it  and  incorpora4ng  it  into  other  knowledge.      

A  site  for  developing  a  greater  understanding  of  map  skills  is  hQp://www.learnnc.org/lp/edi;ons/mapping/6439    Using  Street  Directories  -­‐  Street  Directories  help  us  to  locate  features  such  as  streets,  schools,  churches,  parks  and  they  help  us  to  find  the  route  from  one  point  to  another.    They  are  used  in  everyday  life,  par4cularly  when  travelling  or  visi4ng  unknown  loca4ons.    Aerial  View  refers  to  view  of  the  ground  from  above  -­‐  birds-­‐eye  view,  usually  taken  by  a  plane  or  satellite.  Aerial  view  maps  are  commonly  called  topographic  maps  -­‐  topography  being  the  study  of  the  shape  of  the  land.    In  Topographic  maps,  colours  are  used  to  depict  the  various  forma4ons  eg.  water  is  blue,  mountains  are  brown.    This  is  directly  related  to  the  height  above  sea  level  of  the  feature.    Map  scale  refers  to  the  rela4onship  (or  ra4o)  between  distance  on  a  map  and  the  corresponding  distance  on  the  ground.  For  example,  on  a  1:100  000  scale  map,  1cm  on  the  map  equals  1km  on  the  ground.    Interes4ng  but  strange  Maps  hZp://bigthink.com/strange-­‐maps/673-­‐nil-­‐current-­‐affairs-­‐european-­‐electricity-­‐exports-­‐and-­‐imports      Links  to  other  MAGs  topics  and  Learning  Areas    •  Angles,  Measuring  in  cm/m,    •  Geography  -­‐  mapping  skills  •  Visual  Art  Year  5  Unit
