Map Book 4

The fourth in a series of popular activity books designed to develop map skills, Map Book 4 contains 40 lively activities to help grades 5-6 readers develop and apply four fundamental map skills: shape, symbols, position and direction and scale.  Using themes based on provincial social studies curricula, the book employs a variety of maps on Canada - cultural, historical, physical and political - to help students develop and practice these cornerstone skills.  The numerous maps also help students explore Canada's geography and history.  Map Book 4 is a logical follow-up to Map Book 3.  It also stands on its own as a practical social studies learning resource.
