Map Skills

This book presents 52 actual and fictional maps to demonstrate that there is more to mapping than fold-up road maps and spinning globes. Park maps, property maps, street maps, regional maps, state maps, country maps, world maps, and more are presented.

By the time students complete the exercises found here, they will know how to use accurate directional words and indicators, and will be adept at interpreting the information given on different types of maps. They will be able to recognize picture symbols used on maps, identify routes from place to place, and effectively use a map grid. Grades 4-8.
