latitude and longitude?

No, examples on a grid sheet with items placed on the grid for the kids to locate and write the pair of numbers or letters where they found it. 2,2 or 4,6 or A,2, B,4 etc.

I have drawn some objects on my grids, but I was hoping someone had some new ones with different objects to find.
Thanks.

I recommend you contact your state highway department and get highway maps. They are in the alpha-numeric system and kids love looking at them. They are free, (always in the budget) and you can order as many as you need.

Thanks for the tip. I appreciate it.

State highway maps are wonderful teaching resources & free too! I use them every year and my students love them. Of course, your first mission is to watch them re-fold them after they've opened them up, ha! It's always so funny to watch. After they try to do it, then you show them how easy it really is.
