Questions about Find It on the Grid
What does the Find It on the Grid worksheet cover?
It practices naming the grid square a place is in and moving between squares — 2 questions for Grade 3 to Grade 5, all on C3 Framework D2.Geo.1.3-5: Make maps of places you know and places you do not. The instruction to students is “Read each grid map, then answer the questions”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
Which C3 Framework indicator does Find It on the Grid practice?
D2.Geo.1.3-5, under Geography for Grade 3 to Grade 5. The published indicator reads: “Construct maps and other graphic representations of both familiar and unfamiliar places.” The worksheet assesses that indicator rather than a paraphrase of it.
What age or grade is this worksheet for?
Find It on the Grid is written for Grade 3 to Grade 5, typically ages 40-41. It is one of the sheets on D2.Geo.1.3-5, so it suits any student working at that standard — including older students revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Does Find It on the Grid come with an answer key?
Yes. All 2 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
How many different versions of Find It on the Grid can I print?
25 — one per student, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
Is Find It on the Grid free to print and photocopy?
Yes. Find It on the Grid, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
