Description
All you need are rulers, these easy-to-use data sheets and a United States atlas of individual state maps for New Mexico, Utah, Iowa, and Oklahoma for this lesson!
Whole Class: Use one map to practice measuring distances between cities together. Points to emphasize:
• Shortest distance between two cities is straight line, but not all interstates and roads are straight!
• Check map scales for each state, size of states vary and scale could change
Small Group/Individual: Use remaining three maps to assign the same state map to group, or different state maps to each group member. Group members can trade and re-measure before checking actual distances on a website or app.
Use as a learning center too!

This is one skill that students do not learn anymore so I was excited to find these workskeets.
It's a great resource to introduce measuring distance with on a map!
Thanks!
It seemed like a great resource, but I realized pretty quickly that my students were not ready for it. Maybe I'll try it again in the future!
Great resource!!
Nice
Great for this skill!
Easy to use with the kids.
