Welcome to Location & Movement Adventure!
Today we will learn how to describe where things are and how to move on grids using directions like North, South, East, West, left, right, forward and backward!
What is Location & Movement? π
π
Location
Telling exactly WHERE something is β like "on the blue square" or "(3,4) on the grid"
πββοΈ
Movement
How we go from one place to another using directions
We use special words and grids to be clear like real map explorers! π§
Directional Words π§
β¬οΈ
North / Forward / Up
β‘οΈ
East / Right
β¬οΈ
South / Backward / Down
β¬ οΈ
West / Left
Turn left or right, go forward or backward β these words help us move precisely!
What is a Grid? π
π€
Each square = 1 step
A grid is like a big piece of graph paper with rows and columns. We can say exactly where we are!
How to Read a Grid (Row, Column)
We write position like this: (Row, Column)
Row 1
(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5)
Row 2
(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5)
Row 3
(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5)
Let's Move on the Grid! π
β¬οΈ
Forward / North
β‘οΈ
Right / East
β¬οΈ
Backward / South
β¬ οΈ
Left / West

Treasure Hunt Example π΄ββ οΈ
Start at (1,1). Follow the directions to find the treasure!
1. Move Right 3 spaces β (1,4)
2. Move Down 2 spaces β (3,4)
3. Move Left 1 space β (3,3)
π Treasure found at (3,3)!
Turns and Directions
If you are facing North and turn Right β you face East
If you are facing East and turn Left β you face North
Always remember: Left and Right depend on the direction you are facing!
Practice Time! Try These Paths
Start (2,2) β Right 4 β Down 3. Where are you?
To go from (1,1) to (1,5) I need to move Right 4
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
β
Forgetting that Left/Right depends on facing direction
Always check which way your character is looking!
β
Solution: Use your finger to point the direction first
