About this lesson · notes for teachers
Learning goals: identify the Equator and prime meridian; distinguish the four hemispheres; connect 0° latitude and longitude to the correct lines. Practise includes hints. Challenge shuffles ten questions and removes hints. Both allow time to read explanations before continuing.
We use the conventional 0° and 180° boundaries for east and west. The International Date Line bends away from 180° in places and is not the hemisphere boundary. A point on the Equator is on the boundary, not strictly north or south of it.
