The Yard Surveyor
Grown from Map the Yard with Coordinates: survey a place properly and draw it to scale.
Seven activities that turn a coordinate grid into real surveying. Children pace and measure a space, draw it to scale, add a key and a compass, test their map on somebody else and redraw it after the feedback. Every activity has a harder strand for anybody who wants the stretch.
