Learning abot maps has never been so important for children and young people.

The book details how teachers can plan a curriculum to ensure balance and progression and suggests workable classroom activities for children from the early years of primary to secondary school. Particular attention is paid to how learning with maps can conribute to children's developing literacy and numercy skills. The book draws on the authors unique experience of teaching primary and secondary schools, teacher training, and extensive research and development in educational cartography. This book will be of great use to all primary teachers and subject leaders in primary geography, as well as non-specialist geography teachers.Read More
