Road Trip is like taking a Sunday drive around town, all from your own classroom! Prefect for a math center, children locate points of interest on one of several grid maps and record the sites along the way. Students begin by reading an activity card which gives them step by step directions on how to complete the task. Because each grid map is different, several children can work together, yet independently. They can also repeat the road trip with the other grid maps, providing additional practice. You will be able to see a student's understanding of the concept a glance! Activity directions card, grid maps and recording sheet are provided. Just print and use!

This activity separated the "have it" from the "not yet" students. Will use again.
