From Antarctica to the Indian subcontinent, students analyze maps based on population density, climate, latitude and longitude, and geopolitical borders.

This engaging, six-book series on map-reading skills for grades 1–6 expands students' ideas of what a map is or can be. From learning to design a map of the neighborhood (grade 1) to analyzing geopolitical maps (grades 2–6), the series is appropriately challenging and fun. Concepts discussed include map keys, scales and grids, cardinal directions, latitude and longitude, and transportation routes. A musthave for your geography unit!
