Maths this week - Mapping and directions

Mapping Victory Park 

What you will need:

• Map of victory park 
• 3 small items to hide from home 
• List of instructions 

Your mission is this…

• You will be hiding 3 objects in Victory Park somewhere.  You will need to plan and mark on your map of Victory Park where you will hide those objects so you do not lose them.

• Using V4s door as your starting point, write a set of instructions for a buddy to find your objects.  
• You must use your knowledge of directions to map out your instructions.

• E.g. From the entrance of V4, turn right and take 7 steps forward.  Then turn WEST and walk forward 20 steps.

• Once your buddy has found your first object, they will then follow further instructions to find the second clue.

• You will need to go outside onto VP and figure out the correct amount of steps, directions and orientation so that your buddy can find your objects.

• Once your buddy has found your objects, swap with them and complete their instructions.

• Choose 2 more buddies to do this with.  Use your math book to record instructions.

Follow up game:  North, east, south west!
