Introduction
(5 minutes)- Display several maps either on the whiteboard or floor (if students are sitting in a circle) for students to view.
- Ask students if they know what the maps are called.
- Explain that these are called maps and that a map is a drawing or representation of where things are located in relation to other things. Maps are used to help us find things.
- Point to the map key and explain that we use something called a map key to find certain locations on a map. For example, bridges all might look a certain way on the map, this helps us to find bridges.
