  6. A grid is a set of numbered vertical • and horizontal lines which cross • each other. • Grid reference is a number which • represents the location of a place • on a grid.

  8. Naming grid lines on maps

  9. Map 1 26 25 24 23 22 21 11 12 10 14 16 13 15

  10. The vertical lines are numbered from west to • east. The vertical lines are called eastings • (東行線). • The horizontal lines are numbered from south to • north. The horizontal lines are called • northings(北行線).

  12. How to read a grid reference? • Grid reference is formed by the intersection of an • easting and a northing. • To tell the position of a place, we put the easting • first and then northing.

  14. Exercise 1: Complete the table. Pig Farm 1 and 2 1224 Ah jing’s home 1425 1223 12 23 1523 23 15

  15. 26 25 24 23 22 Map 1 21 11 12 10 14 16 13 15 Example: The 4 - figure grid reference (grid square) of pig farm 3 is 1324

  16. Exercise 2: Draw the following things on the map 1

  18. Sometimes, a 4 - figure grid reference does not give the exact location of a place. For example, on Map 1, both pig farm 1 and 2 are on the grid square 1224. It does not tell us the exact location of the pig farm 1and 2. To be more exact, we use a 6 - grid reference.

  19. To do this, we divide each grid square into ten smaller squares numbered from 1 to 9.

  20. 26 25 24 23 22 21 11 12 10 14 16 13 15 Example: The 6 - figure grid reference of pig farm 1 is pig farm 2 is 125 245 244 129

  21. Exercise 3: Give a 6 - figure grid reference for each of these on Map 2. Railway station _______________ fire station ___________ hospital _____________ police station_____________ church ________________ cultivated land __________ 129240 131243 137241 127245 127237 131219

  22. Why do we use grid references? • Grid reference make it quick and easy to • locate places on maps. • They also make it easier to tell someone else • where something is.
