🎮 The Crossing Point
Lines of longitude and circles of latitude
📖 About this game
A game on the lesson of longitude and latitude in the Universe and Earth unit, and it is the book first activity word for word: the pupils place a mark at the crossing point of the vertical line numbered five, a line of longitude, with the horizontal line numbered seven, a circle of latitude. So the game is the activity itself and not a derivation of it, and the answer is a position computed from two numbers, so the drawing can never contradict what is written. The two numbers are never equal in any round, because a learner who swapped longitude for latitude would then land on the very same square and the mistake would pass unseen, and swapping is the expected mistake in this lesson so it must land elsewhere to be measured. The reveal lights the whole vertical line and the whole horizontal one, so the learner sees the two lines meet, and that is what coordinates mean rather than the name of a square. The traits and uses of the grid appear one fact at a time. Ten points. No sign-up.
🕹️ How to play
- Read the longitude number and the latitude number in the question.
- Remember longitude runs vertically and latitude horizontally.
- Tap the square where they cross.
- Every point you get first try counts for you.
