This Little Red Riding Hood Coordinate Mapping set invites children to find coordinates on a map. They will also draw their versions of pictures on the map as they learn about coordinate mapping. You can decide which map you want your children to work on.
Wait! What if your children are not excited about drawing? You could assign each story character or element a shape. They can draw the shapes in the picture boxes or coding blocks that tell them what to draw.

Exploring the Little Red Riding Hood Mapping Coordinates
Deciding on the Page to Explore
It will be fun for students to use these maps as part of a fairy tale unit or a mapping unit. The first thing you need to do is decide which page you want your children. Younger children would probably do better with the pages with the fewest words. Although, you could read each line of more wordy pages to your children.
Non-Drawing Option
As was mentioned above you could assign each story character or element a shape. They can draw the shapes in the picture boxes or coding blocks that tell them what to draw. Then they can draw the shape onto the Little Red Riding Hood Map.
