Forecast
 Learning objective
At the end of this lesson, we should be able to:
describe the position of a point of the map;
identify the points on a map by their coordinates;
complete the movement of a point and describe it.
Time to warm up!
What axis is horizontal? Vertical?

When we move left/right - which

axis do we use? Up/down?

What is the origin?

How to plot coordinates?

 Challenge 1 -y Weather Forecast
Plot the coordinates, identify the
name of the location and label the
12
map with corresponding weather 11
conditions for the forecast. 10

 Challenge 2 -y Solve the Problem Central Idea:
Now when citizens are aware of the Weather and climate affect people in their environment
upcoming weather, they can avoid facing 12

extreme weather conditions by relocating.

11

Which areas are not safe? Where 10

can people move to stay safe? 9
8
Find the unsafe spots on the map
and describe the movement people
7
should take to stay safe. Use 6
coordinates to describe the 5
movement. 4

 Challenge 2 - Solve the Problem
Now when citizens are aware of the upcoming weather, they can avoid facing extreme weather conditions by
relocating.
Which areas are not safe? Example:
Where can people move to stay safe? Midsummer Mountains -> Princess Pea Palace
(2,4) -> (3,3)
1 right - 1 down
Find the unsafe spots on the map
and describe the movement people
should take to stay safe.
Use coordinates to describe the
movement. Is there one way to go?

EXTENSION:
Who will have to take the longest
way? Are there any shortest ways to
get to a safe place?
 Challenge 3 - Your Turn!
Create your own map game to play with your friends!
What does a FANTASTIC map look like?
My map has x and y-axis for coordinates.
The scale for the axis has equal increments.
My map has a title.
The legend for a map has coordinates with significant locations.

EXTENSION:
Create the questions and challenges for your friend to complete with your map.
 Reflection
Can you
describe the position of a point of the map;
identify the points on a map by their coordinates;
complete the movement of a point and describe it?
