Lost Addresses
A Thinking skills Activity
Lost Addresses
Patrick has a problem. He works as a postman in Larne
and he has just received a batch of parcels that he must
deliver as quickly as possible. The problem is that before
he goes out in his van to deliver the 10 parcels he must
work out where the parcels will be delivered and mark the 6figure grid reference in the space below.
When this is done, see if you can work out what the best
route that Patrick might use to get his parcels delivered as
quickly as possible.
Parcel 1 Tappagh TV Mast Station

Parcel 2 Olderfleet Castle
____________________
Parcel 3 Seacourt House
____________________
Parcel 4 Glynn School
