Learning About Maps
Maps contain useful information that kids can carry throughout their lifetime. Reading maps and map drawing are important skills to learn in geography and in life.
Map Symbols
Maps use symbols like lines and different colors to that represent rivers, roads, cities or mountains; all of which, your students need to understand and learn for the future as adults.
I have to admit that I didn’t know much about geography growing up. My husband is a history buff and could tell you where any place on the Earth is and what happened in that region historically. Me? Not so much.
I am learning more now while educating my children in geography and using a globe to incorporate geographical locations with other subjects. We make our globe and finding locations part of our learning experiences in homeschool. I am so glad my kids are getting the opportunity to learn about the world!
