Map Book 3

The third in a series of activity books designed to develop map skills, this easy-to-use book introduces grade 4-5 readers to the special language of maps and includes over 40 thoughtful activities.  The activities are organized in a sequential progression around four general skills involving shape, symbols, direction and position and scale.  Through a variety of activities based on provincial social studies curricula, the broad map understandings are subdivided into more specific map skills.  Each activity develops one or more new skills to provide an efficient and logical way for students to learn to use maps.
