GEOMETRY • POSITION AND DIRECTION 253

We can use map

coordinates to find our

way round Cybertown's

theme park, Astro World.

The sheep in the petting

zoo is two squares along

and 10 squares up. Its

coordinates are B10.

The ducks in the pond

are four squares

along and three squares

up. So, their coordinates

are D3.

To find what's in

square A9, we count

one square to the right

and nine squares up. The

square contains the ice

cream cart.

A B C D E F G H I J

Find the spot

See if you can navigate

your way round the map

by finding these things:

What can you find

at square G10?

Now find H3. What’s

in the square?

Can you give the

coordinates of the

table with two robots

sitting at it?
