Your students will get excited for this activity which will have them hiding "pieces" of a ripped treasure map around the class and finding the locations in your classroom of their peers' "pieces." In fact, take it from my grade 6's who begged me to make more activities exactly like this one... So I did. They try these out before you guys do and let me know what's fun - they've given this the seal of approval.

Your sneaky investigators will need to piece together the map by collecting the ordered pairs of the map components in their handy collection journal, will plot their points in the treasure map and find the location of the treasure chest! In this activity, they'll be focusing on the first quadrant, ordered pairs and X and Y axes.

Included in this 8-page activity is:

• An explanation page which details how the activity works.
• A "collection" journal for them to track their findings.
• A "cartesian treasure map" for them to "plot" their broken map pieces and rebuild the treasure map to find the buried treasure.
• An answer key.
• Enough printable cards for 35 students.

This works amazingly for a sub and takes roughly 45 minutes to an hour for the students to hide the map parts, find the map parts, and then rebuild the map in their cartesian plane - and finally, to find that loot! YAR MATEYS!
