What educators are saying

I found this a perfect introduction to latitude and longitude. It really breaks it down into simple terms for my students that had never seen latitude and longitude before... and then ramped up into real life application. A must have resource for teaching latitude and longitude! :)

Rated 5 out of 5

My students loved this resource! It is always hard to find activities that are engaging and hands on when practicing map skills but this was just the resource needed! Highly recommend!

CCSSRH.6-8.7

Integrate visual information (e.g., in charts, graphs, photographs, videos, or maps) with other information in print and digital texts.

CCSSMP6

Attend to precision. Mathematically proficient students try to communicate precisely to others. They try to use clear definitions in discussion with others and in their own reasoning. They state the meaning of the symbols they choose, including using the equal sign consistently and appropriately. They are careful about specifying units of measure, and labeling axes to clarify the correspondence with quantities in a problem. They calculate accurately and efficiently, express numerical answers with a degree of precision appropriate for the problem context. In the elementary grades, students give carefully formulated explanations to each other. By the time they reach high school they have learned to examine claims and make explicit use of definitions.
