Finding positions on a grid
Unit 7.1
Definition
Grids are sets of horizontal and vertical lines forming blocks.
• Reading Grids: ”
• The rows are labelled 1 to 5. 5
• The columns are labelled A to E.

Unit 7.1
• You use coordinates to describe the horizontal and vertical position of a
point or block.
• Horizontal position first, then vertical position.
• D4 shows the position of X.

Finding positions on a grid continued…
Unit 7.1
• When a grid is overlaid on a map or
a plan, the cells can be used to give
the positions of things.
• A grid is used to give positions on a
seating plan.
• This classroom seating plan has
letters to
• indicate the rows
• and the seats in each row are
numbered.
• This is a top view of the classroom
plan.
• To get from E4 to A4, move 4 rows
forwards.

Giving directions
Unit 7.1
• Use your current position as a
Cafe
reference point.
• You need a starting point to direct
from.
• Use words like
left right
up down School
sideways across
north south
east west
Current Position
• Use reference points that are
marked or easy to find.
Drive straight up this
road.

Compass directions
Unit 7.2
• Use compass directions with larger maps.
• Left and right depend on which way you are facing, but compass directions
are always the same.
• Use North as a reference point.
• The four main cardinal points are:
• north (N)
• south (S)
• east (E)
• west (W)
• The directions between these are:
• north-east (NE)
• south-east (SE)

Plans and scale
Unit 7.3
Definition
A plan is an accurate diagram that shows exactly what a building
looks like or should look like.
• Floor plans show the sizes and positions of all the of the rooms rooms,
”
doors, windows, built-in elements (e.g. plumbing fixtures, cupboards).
• To understand floor plans, you need to understand the numbers and
symbols on the plan.
• Floor plans are drawn to scale. The measurements on the plan are in
proportion to the actual measurements.

Scale
Unit 7.3
• A map or plan represents an area that is much larger than the image
on paper.
• The scale of the map shows the relationship between the size of the
image and the actual size.
• Scale is often written as a ratio.
• No measurement units are given in the ratio.
• We usually use centimetres to interpret scale.
1 : 100
length of line on image : actual length of line
1 cm on the plan represents100 cm in real life.

Scale
Unit 7.3
• Maps and plans often use bar scales.
• Bar scales make it easy to estimate the distance between two points
on a map.

Scale
Unit 7.3
• A scale of 1 : 200 makes the plan smaller than a scale of 1 : 100.
Length on plan: 6 cm Length on plan: 3 cm
Length in real life: 6 × 100 cm Length in real life: 3 × 200 cm
= 600 cm = 6 m = 600 cm = 6 m

Instructions and assembly diagrams
Unit 7.4
• Here is a wiring diagram to show how to connect a DVD player to a
