[...] Pull up a world map (www.teacherled.com/category/maps) and ask students to tap on a country or continent to learn its name. Drag maps around to show different parts of the world. Create maps with older students using Map Maker (www.teacherled.com/2008/06/01/map-maker). [...]

This Map can also be used for coordinates within maths (we have just been making maps to do both negative and positive coordinates) and is really engaging for students.

You would have to explain that the numbers correspond to values on axes and that you give the coordinates of the bottom right hand corner but I could see that this resource would have been fantastic for them, had I found it before today!

Maybe having a link to it from the Maths area as well? (Or if it’s not too much hassle – add axis labels for x and y for a “maths” version)

Your maps are FANTASTIC!!

Quick question … I can print them out but when I hit save on my computer nothing happens. What should I be doing to get my map to save?

Greatly appreciate the help

You are a legend, I lovvvvvvvvvvvve this resource. In my experience when teaching Area and Grid References I find students find it so much easier if the northings and eastings have different values, so I’d love to see it where I could input my own values so the map template isn’t always the same or could you change either the eastings or the northings or is that being oh so picky.

I don’t understand how to get the load button to work either, can you help?
