Find Places on a Pretend Room Plan
Match a simple plan’s labels to represented places.
Supplied materials
- Original fictional room plan, viewed from above: draw three boxes in a row. Left box has T for shared tray; middle box has D for drawing table; right box has S for story mat. Key: T=tray, D=drawing table, S=story mat. This is a pretend drawing, not your home or classroom.
Learn the idea
A plan is a drawing that helps show where things are. A plan can use letters instead of pictures, but we need a key to tell us what those letters mean. Our key says T is the tray. That is a fact about this pretend drawing, not a rule for every plan.
Look at the boxes from left to right. We can describe the drawing table as between the tray and the story mat. We can also describe the tray as left of the table on this page. These position words help another person find the same box without needing to visit any real room.
- Draw or point to the three boxes in the stated order.
- Say the meaning of T, D, and S from the key.
- Point to the box between T and S.
- Tell an adult where the tray is on this drawing using left or right.

“D is the drawing table. It is in the middle, between T, the tray, and S, the story mat. The tray is left of the table on this page.”

See the answer and explanation
The drawing table.
The complete plan gives T, D, S in that order. Its key labels the middle D as the drawing table.
Take it further
Changed drawing: put S on the left, T in the middle, and D on the right, keeping the key. What is now in the middle? Model reasoning: “The tray. T still means tray, but its position changed.”
