Creating and designing treasure maps

In Maths, we have been learning about geometry -position and orientation. We know about N, S, E and W and co-ordinates on maps. We played battleships one day and listened to instructions to put things on the right place on our own map.

Mrs Field asked us if we wanted to design our own maps and we said, " YES please! "

Here are some of them at stage one - Map completed. Next we wrote directions for people to follow to find the treasure. We published them. Our maps had the edges burned and we made grids on the maps. Some people chose to scrunch their map up to make it look old. At the end,  we used a coloured page for the background and joined the map to the directions. They look really cool. Now we can try out other people's maps in class time to find the treasure.
