Support young geographers in learning how to use and interpret maps
Map reading is an important skill for geographers both in the classroom and when participating in schemes such as the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Secondary students are required to learn the necessary skills to interpret Ordnance Survey maps, use grid references, compasses, contour and scale in addition to topographical and other thematic mapping.
With this in mind, we have gathered together a collection of lessons, worksheets, booklets and activities to support you in teaching map skills to secondary geography students for both classroom and field learning.
