Customer Reviews for Scholastic Inc. Magazine Maps Skills for Today Gr 6

Build your students' geographical literacy as they learn all sorts of interesting facts about how to navigate the globe!

Major US cities, South America, Europe, Mediterranean, The Middle East, Russia, and other unique areas are used in examples. Students will answer varied questions that demand interaction and excellent map-reading skills. Colorful exercises will capture students' interests as they move through the book. 46 pages, softcover.
