Using grids starts in Year 3 to organise data and plot figures. By Year 5, tasks include mapping and scale drawings. Advanced grid usage in middle and secondary school involves plotting coordinates and transformations.

In these lessons, students use grids to organise data, solve problems, and map coordinates. Tutero’s approach involves practical exercises like plotting points and navigating maps, helping students understand how grids function as a fundamental tool in various mathematical and real-world applications
This lesson plan on grids features enabling prompts to help students grasp the basics of navigating and plotting points on grid systems, complemented by extending prompts for those prepared to explore complex grid-based puzzles and coordinate plotting. These prompts are designed to enhance spatial reasoning and map interpretation skills.

Introduction to Grids
Students are introduced to grids as a method of organising and displaying information. They start with simple activities like locating points on a grid and move to more complex uses such as plotting shapes. By Year 5, students understand how to use grids to solve problems, create art, and represent mathematical data, appreciating grids as a fundamental tool in numerous scientific and creative fields.
Navigating and Creating Grids
Initially focusing on navigating pre-made grids, students learn to follow and give directions using grid references. They then create their own grids for various purposes, such as mapping a small area or designing a game board. By Year 5, students are proficient in designing and utilising complex grids in projects, including digital applications and large-scale mappings.
Grids in Everyday Use
Students explore the practical applications of grids in everyday life, from organising data in spreadsheets to understanding pixel grids in digital images. They apply their grid skills to manage and interpret real-life data, plan layouts, and more. By Year 5, they leverage grids for complex tasks such as statistical analysis and urban planning, recognising the grid's utility in structuring information efficiently.
