Students zero in on specific areas of the world as they use the colorful fold-out map (included, measures 11"x17") and a variety of other maps to learn about other lands.
Skills emphasized in this book include: recognizing that a map is a symbolic representation of all or part of the earth, using a legend or key, using symbols and patterns to interpret features, using terms of direction (far, near, above, below, etc.), using cardinal directions (north, south, east, west), and much more!
