Learning how to use an atlas

(0)
The resource shows children how to use index pages and grid references to locate places in the world. The lesson also consolidates children’s understanding of the continents. The lesson also endeavours to awaken an excitement in the children regarding the world around them. The lesson opens with a story about a tree who decides to wander the natural wonders of the world such as The Serengeti, Himalayas, Iguazu Falls etc. The children are then taught how to locate these places in their atlas using the index page and grid references. Children are then given a work sheet (differentiated worksheets) to mark the location of each 6 different places on six different continents.
