 GOOD
MORNING
CLASS!
At the end of the lesson, you should
be able to…

 Identify the latitude and longitude

of a given place.

 Explain the importance of the

coordinate System in locating
places on Earth.

 Demonstrate how places on Earth

may be located using a coordinate
system.

ALWAYS REMEMBER:
 STEPS FINDING THE COORDINATES:

STEP 1: FIND THE LOCATION OF THE LATITUDE

AND IN WHAT HEMISPHERE. (N, S)

STEP 2: FIND THE LOCATION OF THE

LONGITUDE AND IN WHAT HEMISPHERE (W,
E)

STEP 3: DETERMINE WHERE THE

HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LINE
INTERSECT.
