Today's Lesson

Main Activity

Next lesson your student will be completing a map skills test for their final assignment of this topic, so today we will have some fun revising and recapping their map and atlas skills.

For revising map skills, use the Ordnance Survey Map Zone website.

EXPLORE - MapZone (Ordnance Survey)

You can first read about each skill on the 'Map Skills' section, and then practise using the 'Map Quizzes' and 'Games' sections.

Next, practise your atlas work by seeing if your student can use the clues in the Where Am I? PowerPoint to identify some mystery location. The fewer clues they need, the higher their total score.

Challenge Activity

The final slide of the Where Am I? PowerPoint is blank. Can your student create their own clues and then test a family member?
