How do we use six figure grid references?

7.7

Six figure grid references can be used to give the exact position of a place on a map.

u The first three numbers tell us how far to go along the bottom or top of the

map. The third number tells us the number of tenths of a grid square.

u The last three numbers tell us how far to go up the sides of the map.

The sixth number tells us the number of tenths of a grid square.

u On a map you will have to estimate the tenths of each grid square.

How can height be shown on a map?

7.9

There are three main methods of showing height above sea level on maps.

u Spot heights are numbers that show the exact height of a place.

u Contours are lines on a map which join up places which have the

same height.

u Layer colouring uses bands of different colours to show areas of

different heights.

�1 Complete the contour map below by following the instructions.

�2 Complete the following sentences:

u The height at A is _____________ metres.

u The height at B is _____________ metres.

u The height at C is _____________ metres.

u The height at D is _____________ metres.

�3 Mark the place that you think has the lowest height with an ‘X’.

How do contours show height and relief?

7.10

NEW KEY GEOGRAPHY Foundations Teacher’s Resource © Nelson Thornes 2006189

Contour lines are a good way of showing height and relief on a map.

Contours that are close together show steep slopes. Contours that are far

apart show gentle slopes. The pattern of the contours tells us about the

features of the land.

Match each of the landform sketches below to the correct contour

pattern by writing the correct letter in the space provided.

How can we describe routes?

7.11

Maps can be used to describe routes and places. Accuracy is very important when

describing things.

A Go to the Key Geography Foundations link on the Nelson Thornes website.

B From the Map skills section, select the links to Multimap.

C Enter the postcode of your home, and click ‘Find’.

A street map will download, with the exact location of your home circled.

D Select scale 1:50 000. An Ordnance Survey map of your neighbourhood

will now download, again with your home circled.

E Copy and paste this map into a word processing or desktop publishing program.

F Use the software tools to describe and label places you know in your

neighbourhood on the map.

G Mark your route from your home to school (you may need to select a different

scale of map).

H Describe your route from your home to school. There is no need to try to

include everything, but you must be very accurate. You might first describe

the area in general and then mention both the physical features and human

features. Write out the features in the order you would pass them.

I Give six figure grid references to locate the main features observed on

your journey.
