Maps+and+Mapping+Skills



 Welcome to my map page. Here I will update you on what we are learning about in our social studies theme of maps and mapping skills. Over the unit all students will learn how to:


 * Read and interpret a variety of maps.
 * Create a map with a key.
 * Name and find the continents and oceans.
 * Describe and find hills, islands, lakes and oceans in photographs, maps and 3-D models.
 * Compare different types of land.
 * Name ways people have changed the environment, like building roads.



 As a class we will be able to go on a treasure hunt, create a classroom map, play hunt and seek using a globe and much more. Learning how to use maps is something that everyone needs to know; even with G.P.S. (Global Positioning System) it is good to know distances and directions!
