Human Sized Coordinate Grid

My math students were able to do hands on or should I say foot on learning today during their lesson on ordered pairs on a coordinate grid. We went outside and practiced using a large grid with an x and y axis. The students were given a set of numbers for example, (4,6) and they had to move on the grid according to the ordered pair they were given. The 4 is on the x axis and the 6 is on the y axis therefor the students would move over 4 and up 6. The student was then given another set of instructions such as, go down 4 and 3 to the right and then they would have to name their location. I think the kids had a great time learning this skill and will hopefully remember to "go in the elevator before they go up.'
