Unit focus

  • Grid references identify positions consistently. A system must define how letters, numbers or coordinates are read, and pathway instructions must use a fixed orientation and clear sequence.
  • Use this routine: Orient grid → Read horizontal reference → Read vertical reference → Locate cell/point → Follow ordered directions → Verify endpoint.
  • Watch for row and column order switched: State and follow the convention, usually column then row for letter–number cells.
