Grid Reference Detective

Find places on an island map using four-figure grid references.

An island map with a numbered grid, a lighthouse, a harbour, a castle and more. Students answer ten questions: some ask for the four-figure grid reference of a symbol, others ask them to tap the square for a given reference. It reminds them to go along the corridor, then up the stairs.
