Tuesday: Read the trail map
Ferris the Fox marks four places on his grid map.
They are the camp, the pond, the lookout and the hollow.
"Each square on this map stands for 1 kilometer," he says.
Bennie the Bear studies the points. "The camp is at two, three. The pond is at seven, three."
"They have the same second number," says Ferris. "So they are on the same line across."
"Then the pond is 7 - 2 = 5 kilometers from camp," says Bennie.
Ferris grins. "The grid tells us where things are and how far apart they are."

Camp C is at (2, 3), and pond P is at (7, 3).
They share the same second number, so they sit on one line across.
Subtract the first numbers: 7 - 2 = 5.
So the pond is 5 kilometers from camp.

Ferris walks 2 kilometers every hour.
After 1 hour: (1, 2). After 2 hours: (2, 4). After 3 hours: (3, 6).
The first number is the hours. The second number is the kilometers.
