2. Objectives During this morning’s class, we will: 1.Review scale, the national grid, and four figure grid references. 2.Focus on finding places/objects on a map using six figure grid references. 3.Familiarise ourselves with symbols used on a map.

3. Tuesday’s Homework For this morning’s lesson, you were required to find locations using four figure grid references. Place these exercises on your desks for correction.

4. Homework For tomorrow’s class, you must: Answer questions 3, 4, 5 & 6 on page 116. Answer questions 3, 4 & 5 on page 118.

5. Review of Tuesday’s lesson Working with your partner, prepare explanations for each of the terms in the box provided. LEN ScaleEastings The National Grid NorthingsFour Figure Grid References

6. Map Symbols All maps included in the Discovery Series contain various images. These images are used to illustrate a variety of features. symbols Images are called symbols. legend All Ordnance Survey maps are accompanied with a table that explains what each of the symbols represent. This table is called a legend. Turn to page 109 of your textbook.

7. Map Symbols As we have seen, map symbols can be used to show a variety of things, from roads and railways to antiquities (ancient sites) and topography (the shape of the land).

8. Six Figure Grid References Six figure grid references can be used to locate a specific point on a map – such as a camping site, ring fort or Garda station. This involves using the same process as four figure grid referencing; however, you must then imagine that each square can be broken down into a further ten parts. This will leave you with another easting and northing.

9. Six Figure Grid Referencing Let’s attempt questions 3, 4, 5 & 6 on page 114. Scoilnet Maps image of Cobh.
