Hands on activities are the focus of this unit on Maps and Globes. There are five quality lessons, with four assessments, including performance tasks and constructed responses designed to answer the essential questions: Where are we and where are we going? What in the world is outside of my city? Why do humans create maps? and What is life like in other continents?

Includes performance tasks and a formal map skills test .

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

Kendra Drummond (TpT Seller)

Big difference between 1st and 6th graders. What grade is this most geared towards? What grade were you teaching when this was created?

December 19, 2012

Heidi Raki (TpT Seller)

I was teaching 3rd grade when I created this project, and I don't usually put this large of a range on my listings, but my son's first grade teacher begged me for this because it was exactly what she was looking for. Another friend of mine uses it as a review for her 6th graders at the beginning of each school year. So as you can see, it was a hard product for me to put a range on. If you have the time, feel free to download the preview file, it shows exactly what is on each page and should help you gauge if it is the right level for your students.

Thanks for taking the time to ask a question.
Happy Holidays!

Do these lessons and activities cover second grade standards for California?

October 31, 2012

Heidi Raki (TpT Seller)

They weren't designed to cover California standards, but they may cover those standards. I design mainly for Common Core and UK National Curriculum, so I am not familiar with California's standards and I cannot answer decisively. I know that in my experience, many of the standards like map skills are common across different sets of standards.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Grades Taught:

Kindergarten, First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Homeschooler

Subject Area:

Math, English Language Arts, EFL - ESL - ELD

I currently teach a mixed age class of 3rd and 4th graders at the International School of Morocco. Previously, I have taught 1st grade and 3rd grade, as well as teaching all grade levels in the computer lab at a Title I school in Georgia. I have taught both high income and low-income school students, and find that no matter where I teach, most kids need to look at every problem from 12 different angles. Although it is challenging, it is also incredibly rewarding.
