This highly interactive 15 slide PowerPoint starts off explaining what maps are, and who uses maps. DOWNLOAD THE FREE QUIZ THAT GOES ALONG WITH THIS POWERPOINT from my site! It then discusses the 4 main types of maps (topographical, political, population density, and natural resources) The slides include nice bright examples of each map. The PowerPoint is designed to be done whole class, with or without an interactive whiteboard, or done individually. It uses the hover-over feature of PowerPoint and includes many custom animations.

The link to the game is not active. I was disappointed in how limited the scope of this powerpoint is. Maybe I misunderstood what "highly interactive" meant.
You have to be in presentation mode in order for the links, and interactive parts to work. Let me know if you need further directions to make that happen.

I viewed it in presentation mode and the hover buttons worked great! I liked having examples of the different types of maps. The link at the end is no longer active though so we couldn't play the game.

Hey,
I just bought this and am really disappointed with the quality and comprehensiveness of this powerpoint (the mouse-overs were very distracting). I don't want to give you bad feedback, but I'm not going to use this in my classroom -- so I'd like a refund.
Hi, the hover feature is great if you have an interactive whiteboard. I don't like to give refunds because there is no way you can return the ppt. I would rather send you one other resource instead. You can email me at jjelliott01@hotmail.com If this is not satisfactory and you would still like an refund, let me know.
