Two sets of pair cards to help children learn how to read one and four quadrant coordinates grids. They can be used in a variety of ways as a whole class, in pairs, or individually. We find them very effective a exit cards or even a fun extension activity for those early finishers.
Here are two ways that we have used them successfully:
Game 1: Give each of the children 1 card, get them to walk around and find the other person with the matching card. How quickly can they do it?
Game 2: In pairs, put all of the cards face down on the table. Take it in turns turning over two cards to try and find a matching pair. The person with the most pairs at the end is the winner.
