- The document discusses six-figure grid references, which provide a more precise location than four-figure grid references by including two additional digits. - It explains how to take a six-figure grid reference using eastings and northings, and provides examples for students to practice identifying locations on an Ordnance Survey map using this method. - The lesson aims to give students an understanding of when to use six-figure grid references and how they work. Students are assigned a homework task and extension activity involving map skills.

1. Lesson Seven- How do six-figure grid references work? Aims- An understanding of how and when to use six-figure grid references

2. Starter Think about four figure grid references. When and why would you want to find a whole square on a map?

5. Look at the example below:

6. Main Activity 2 Have a go at this 6-figure grid reference

7. Have a go at the following six figure grid references

8. Main Activity 3 Your teacher will give you an OS map. Find 20 things on it and give them a 6 figure grid reference.

9. Plenary Q1- When would you use a six figure rather than a four figure grid reference? Q2 – How do you take a six figure grid reference?

10. Homework Use the Eastenders worksheet to check on your compass points abilities.

11. Extension Play the grid references game on the following slides……………..
