� Math Message Follow-UpMake one list of things students already know (or think they know)about the world globe and a second list of questions students wouldlike answered. During the discussion that follows, refer to the listswhen facts are reviewed or questions are answered.
Tell students that in this lesson they will explore the coordinategrid system used to locate points on the world globe.
� Studying a World Globe(Student Reference Book, pp. 272 and 273)
Mention that Earth is close to being a perfect sphere; that is, allpoints on Earth’s surface are about the same distance from thecenter of Earth. With the help of the class, locate and discuss someof the important features of the globe.
1. The North Pole and South Pole: Demonstrate how Earthrotates as students share observations:
� Earth rotates about an axis (an imaginary line through itscenter) connecting the two poles. Viewed from above theNorth Pole, Earth rotates counterclockwise.
� All points on the surface of Earth, except the two poles, moveeast as Earth rotates.
2. The equator: Point out that the equator is a circle and thatevery point on it is the same distance from each pole.
3. The prime meridian: Unlike the equator, the prime meridianis a semicircle (half circle). It connects the poles and passesthrough the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, England—nearLondon. It was established when England was the foremostseafaring nation.

Latitude and Longitude
You sometimes use a world globe or a flat map to locate countries,cities, rivers, and so forth. Reference lines are drawn on globesand maps to make places easier to find.
LatitudeLines that go east and west around the Earth are called lines oflatitude. The equator is a special line of latitude. Every pointon the equator is the same distance from the North Pole and theSouth Pole. Lines of latitude are called parallels because eachone is a circle that is parallel to the equator.
Latitude is measured in degrees. The symbol for degrees is (̊ ).Lines north of the equator are labeled ˚N. Lines south of theequator are labeled ˚S. The number of degrees tells how farnorth or south of the equator a place is. The area north of theequator is called the Northern Hemisphere. The area south of the equator is called the Southern Hemisphere.
World Tour
ExamplesExamples The latitude of Cairo, Egypt, is 30˚N.We say that Cairo is 30 degrees north of the equator.
The latitude of Durban, South Africa, is 30˚S.Durban is in the Southern Hemisphere.
The latitude of the North Pole is 90˚N.The latitude of the South Pole is 90˚S.The poles are the points farthest north and farthest south on Earth.

LongitudeA second set of lines runs from north to south. These aresemicircles (half-circles) that connect the poles. They are calledlines of longitude or meridians. The meridians are not parallelsince they meet at the poles.
The prime meridian is the special meridian labeled 0 .̊ Theprime meridian passes through Greenwich, near London, England.Another special meridian falls on, or close to, the InternationalDate Line. This meridian is labeled 180˚ and is exactly oppositethe prime meridian, on the other side of the world.
Student Reference Book, p. 272
Student Page
4. The hemispheres: Demonstrate how the equator and theprime meridian each partition Earth into half-spheres, orhemispheres.
� The Northern Hemisphere is the half-sphere north of theequator. The Southern Hemisphere is the half-sphere southof the equator.
� The Western Hemisphere is the half-sphere west of theprime meridian. The Eastern Hemisphere is the half-sphereeast of the prime meridian.
5. The latitude and longitude lines: Point out the grid thatcircles the globe.
� The latitude lines are circles above and below the equator.Because these circles are parallel to the equator, they areoften called parallels.
� The longitude lines are semicircles that connect the poles.The semicircles of longitude are not parallel, since they meetat the poles.
Be sure to emphasize that longitude is represented by semicirclesand latitude by full circles.
� Introducing the System for Locating Places on the Globe
Social Studies Link Emphasize that all latitude andlongitude readings must have two parts: a number of
degrees and a direction with reference to the equator or primemeridian. The only exceptions are 0° latitude and either 0° or180° longitude; the direction is not included because it is notneeded.
Point out that degrees are printed on, or near, the latitude andlongitude lines on the globe. But the directions (N, S, E, and W)are not printed on the globe, and students must attach a directionto each latitude and longitude reading they make.
� Latitudes north of the equator (Northern Hemisphere) arelabeled °N or °North.
� Latitudes south of the equator (Southern Hemisphere) arelabeled °S or °South.
� Longitudes west of the prime meridian (Western Hemisphere)are labeled °W or °West.
� Longitudes east of the prime meridian (Eastern Hemisphere)are labeled °E or °East.
Then demonstrate how to locate a point on the globe in relation to the prime meridian and the equator. On the globe, the degreeseast and west of the prime meridian are shown along the equator.Most globes have a meridian bar that shows degrees north andsouth of the equator.
WHOLE-CLASS ACTIVITY
Lesson 6�9 451
Adjusting the ActivityStudents and adults often confuse
the words latitude (parallels) and longitude
(meridians). Suggest and sketch visuals such
as “latitudes are like rungs on a ladder to
climb north or south of the equator,” and
“longitude lines are long half-circle paths to
the poles.”
AUDITORY � KINESTHETIC � TACTILE � VISUAL
When both latitude and longitude lines are shown on a globe ormap, they form a pattern of crossing lines called a grid. Thegrid can help you locate places on the globe or map. Any placeon the map can be located by naming its latitude and longitude.
Check Your UnderstandingCheck Your Understanding
Use the grid below to find the approximate latitude and longitude for the cities shownon the map. For example, Denver, Colorado, is about 40˚ North and 105˚ West.
Check your answers on page 347.
Longitude is measured in degrees. Lines west of the primemeridian are labeled ˚W. Lines east of the prime meridian arelabeled ˚E. The number of degrees tells how far west or east ofthe prime meridian a place is located. The area west of theprime meridian is called the Western Hemisphere. The areaeast of the prime meridian is called the Eastern Hemisphere.
World Tour
ExamplesExamples The longitude of London is 0˚ becauseLondon lies close to the prime meridian.
The longitude of Durban, South Africa, is 30˚E.Durban is in the Eastern Hemisphere.
The longitude of Gambia (a small country inAfrica) is about 15˚W. We say that Gambia is 15 degrees west of the prime meridian.

Answers will vary based on answers to Problem 2.
Math Journal 1, p. 164
Student PageTo make it easier to read latitude, you can rotate the globe so that the meridian bar is close to the place you want to locate.
Examples:
� Start at the point where the equator and prime meridian meet.Then move along the equator 45° West of the prime meridian.Next move 60° North along the 45° West semicircle. Youshould end up just off the southern tip of Greenland.
� Find the city of Durban in South Africa. It is near the 30° Southparallel. Move up the longitude semicircle to the equator. Thisshows that Durban is about 30° East of the prime meridian.Thus, the location of Durban is about 30° South, 30° East.
� Find the place at 36° North and 140° East. Use the degreescale along the equator to find 140° East of the prime meridian.Rotate the globe so that the meridian bar is next to 140° East.Use the meridian bar to find 36° North latitude. Tokyo, Japan,is adjacent to the meridian bar at this latitude. The location ofTokyo is about 36° North, 140° East.
NOTE The words latitude and longitude need not be used when naming
locations. Also, the words North, South, East, and West can be abbreviated.
Thus, the location of Durban, for example, can be written as about 30°S and
30°E. The north or south location is always named first, followed by the east
or west location.
� Locating Places on a World MapHave the class gather around a wall map of the world. Repeat theroutine that you followed above using the globe.
Name several well-known places. Ask volunteers to identify theseon the map and then find the latitude and longitude for each.
Specify several places by giving the latitude and longitude foreach. Ask volunteers to locate and name each place.
� Locating Places on Regional Maps(Math Journal 1, p. 164; Student Reference Book, pp. 282–293)
Have students use the continent maps on pages 282–293 in theStudent Reference Book to locate cities and find the approximatelatitude and longitude of each city. Find the answers for Pretoriain Problems 1–3 with the class. Then have partnerships complete the rest of the problems.
Most locations do not fall exactly on the lines of latitude andlongitude. In such cases, students must estimate the degrees oflatitude and longitude. Allow a 5-degree variance in their answers,but expect that generally they should not be off by more than adegree or two.

Materials 1 Over and Up Squares Gameboard and Record Sheet (Math Masters, p. 494)
1 colored pencil per player (different colors) 2 six-sided dice
Players 2 Skill Plotting ordered pairs; developing a
winning game strategyObject of the game To score more points by connecting ordered pairs on a coordinate grid.
Directions 1. Player 1 rolls 2 dice and uses the numbers to make an
ordered pair. Either number can be used to name the x-coordinate (over) of the ordered pair. The other number is used to name the y-coordinate (up) of the ordered pair.After deciding which ordered pair to use, the player marks iton the grid with his or her colored pencil (See Figure 1.)
2. Player 1 records the ordered pair and the score in the firsttable. A player earns 10 points each time an ordered pair is marked correctly.
3. Player 2 rolls the dice and decides how to make an orderedpair. If both possible ordered pairs are already marked onthe grid, the player rolls the dice again. (Variation: If bothpossible ordered pairs are already marked, the player canchange one or both of the numbers to 0.)
4. Player 2 uses the other colored pencil to mark the ordered pairand records the ordered pair and score in the second table.
5. Players take turns rolling the dice, marking ordered pairs onthe grid, and recording the results. On a player’s turn, if 2marked grid points are next to each other on the same sideof one of the grid squares, the player connects them with aline segment he or she makes. Sometimes more than 1 linesegment may be drawn in a single turn. (See Figure 2.) Aplayer scores 10 points for each line segment drawn.
6. If a player draws a line segment that completes a grid square,(so that all 4 sides of the square are now drawn), that playercolors in the square and earns 50 points. (See Figure 3.)
7. The player with more points after 10 rounds wins.

Ongoing Assessment: Informing InstructionWatch for students who have difficulty using the continent maps, because only
a portion of the world is shown on each map. Remind them that the lines of
latitude and longitude on the continent maps are labeled to show both a number
of degrees and a direction (N, S, E, or W).
� Playing Over and Up Squares(Student Reference Book, p. 257; Math Masters, p. 494)
Students play Over and Up Squares to practice locating points and plotting points on a coordinate grid.
Use these game variations as appropriate:
� Have students play the game in teams to share strategies and skills or
eliminate the line segment and square aspects of the game.
� Have students choose and name their own points, thus emphasizing the
importance of strategy.

� Using Time to Determine Longitude (Math Masters, p. 388 or 389)
Literature Link To apply students’ understanding oflongitude, have them read Sea Clocks: The Story of
Longitude by Louise Bordon (Margaret K. McElderry Books;2004). The book tells how John Harrison created the first accuratesea clock, allowing sailors to know more accurately their locationat sea by giving them the correct home port time.
Have students explain, in a Math Log or on an Exit Slip, whyknowing the correct home port and sea time helped sailorsdetermine longitude at sea. Each hour is marked by exactly15 degrees of longitude. If it is noon on a ship sailing west and3 P.M. at the home port, the ship is 45° west of home port. If aclock on a ship sailing east reads 3 P.M. and the home port time is noon, the ship is 45° east of home port.
� Locating Places with Latitude and Longitude(Math Masters, p. 196)
To practice locating places using latitude and longitude, havesmall groups use a world political map, a penny, and the Latitudeand Longitude Cards cut from Math Masters, page 196.
1. Have students shuffle the Latitude and Longitude Cardsseparately and put them facedown in two piles.
2. Team 1 draws a Latitude Degree Card and then flips a pennyto find whether it is north (heads) or south (tails). The latitudeand direction are recorded, and the card is returned facedownto the bottom of the pile.
3. Team 1 now draws a Longitude Card and flips the penny tofind whether it is east (heads) or west (tails). The longitudeand direction are recorded, and the card is returned to thebottom of the pile.
4. The team uses the information to locate and record thecountry or body of water indicated by the coordinates.
5. Teams take turns until each team has located 10 places. The team with the most land locations is the winner.
