know how to use and understand four-figure grid references
They allow us to find a specific place on a map quite quickly.

Maps can cover hundreds of miles, so this allows us to narrow down the area on the map
that we need to search.

• On the next slide, find the four-
figure grid references for the shapes.
• Remember to go along the corridor
and up the stairs, using the values
that lead to the bottom left-hand
corner of that grid square.

Task – work out the six-

figure grid reference for
each shape.
• Look carefully at each
square. Remember to
place a dot in the
bottom left corner of the
square when working
out which northings and
eastings to use.
• Remember ‘along the

corridor, up the stairs’.
• Use the middle of each

shape for the grid
reference.
Extension- Click the link

and challenge yourself
with your accuracy of 6
figure grid references. https://

Understand a range of human and physical features from a map.
The most important tool you have

is the key! You will be provided
with a key for any OS map extracts
that you are given. Look closely at
the map and use the key to
identify any landforms that you
are unsure of.
You should also consider the
relationship between human and
physical features. For example,
why a settlement is located where
it is and why tourists could be
attracted to a particular area.
Think carefully about how the
features on the map would look in
real life. For example, are there
any contour lines? Would the
location be hilly, mountainous or
flat?
Task- What human and physical features can you identify on this map?
Can you give reasons for the locations of the features?

Be able to complete a paper 2 map skills exam question.
You are now going to practice the skills we have covered this lesson and try to complete a 20
mark paper 2 exam question which has a focus on rivers.
Remember to read the question carefully and take your time checking map evidence.
Please do not be tempted to use the mark scheme !Good luck !
