Great value
Standards-aligned
I really liked the map challenge but my student found it confusing. I think it was the layout being rounded like on the globe made it hard but with a little help they worked it out

I felt like this is a good map skills activity since it encompasses various different types of maps. I ended up have to look elsewhere for maps that didn't have lines of latitude / longitude though. Would be great for upper grades!
