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. Students will have fun while learning a practical life skill.

This lesson covers map skills in the form of: How to read a compass How to interpret an OS map How to infer the format of an atlas map and how to label a 3D atlas map
