A.K.A. Umar’s recipe on how to be a treasure seeking sailor:
Step 1. Make a rectangle with masking tape on floor.
Step 2. Make marks along the tape at every 10 cm.
Step 3. Join the marks with more tape, eventually making a grid.
Step 4. Number your grid.
Step 5: Search on the web for co-ordinates to make a boat on a Cartesian plane.
Step 6: Tape a rope or ribbon on every grid co-ordinates point until you have a boat with a sail. Remember first number on the X axis and second number on the Y axis.
Step 7. Make a couple of islands in the same way and talk about co-ordinates some more. This time without a printout to guide you.
Step 8: Pretend to swim in the sea.
Step 9: Play a game which involves drawing random co-ordinates cards from the pile and trying to reach the treasure island.
Step 10: Force your older siblings (teenagers 🙄) into playing this game with you repeatedly, ignoring all moans, groans and rolling eyes.
Sorry no images of teens throwing tantrums available 😉
Step 11. Repeat as many times as desired.
Did NOT throw a tantrum! 🤣😭
