Geographic Literacy & Map Navigation

Global Citizenship & Humanities

Your child can read a simple city, park, or world map, identifying the four cardinal directions (North, South, East, West) and standard map symbols.

In real life

While exploring a park, your child holds the map and says: "The monkeys are North of us, so we need to go up this path past the water fountain symbol."
