Ahoy, explorer! A pirate hid treasure on a map. To find it, you need a secret skill: map coordinates.
A coordinate is just a way to say exactly where something is on a grid — like a special address. By the end you'll read them, write them, and dig up the gold. 💰

We draw lines across and up to split the map into little squares. Each square gets a number from the edges.
Numbers along the bottom count across →. Numbers up the side count ↑ up.
The bottom-left corner starts at the small numbers. 👀
Always read a coordinate across first, then up. Think: "into the room, then up the ladder." 🚪🪜
Tap each step to learn the trick:
Brilliant! You found the secret order. 🎉
Let's find square (3, 2). Go 3 across, then 2 up. Tap the squares in order to walk there!
Start at the bottom-left and tap the path. 🐾
The pirate's note says the treasure is buried at (2, 4). Tap that one square to dig! ⛏️
Remember: across first, then up.
Now read a coordinate yourself. Look at the 🗼 lighthouse on the map. Count across, then up, and pick its coordinate.
It's 4 across… how far up?
Last challenge, captain! Tap the square at (5, 1) to plant your flag 🚩 and claim the island.
5 across (all the way), then 1 up (just one).
Now you can map any treasure in the world. 🌍✨
