Publisher's Description of Learn About Types of Maps (Follow the Map!)
Whether you're looking at a paper map or a map online, it's important to
understand how to read it. From weather maps to road maps, these tools
help us better understand the world around us, and especially help us
find where we're going! This volume includes basic map concepts, such as
using map keys, scale, and latitude and longitude, all of which support
lower elementary social studies curricula. Examples and full-color maps
introduce readers to climate maps, population maps, and more!
Packed with full-color maps, illustrations, and examples on
every page, this series of 6 books builds foundational map skills in a fun,
easy way! Many kids today rely on technology to tell them where to go, step-by-step
and turn-by-turn. Reading maps is becoming a lost art! Each of these books
tackles a different map topic—climate zones, latitude and longitude, map keys,
cardinal directions, time zones, and types of maps—helping kids to become
“map-literate” so they can feel confident in their own skills! Each
24-page book includes a glossary of important terms and suggested resources for
more information.
