How to teach kids about maps while getting them to draw their own map
1. Show your kids different levels of detail on maps
2. Measure distances on a map
3. Explore directions and connect them to distance
4. Understand what symbols mean
5. Map out the classroom
Your kids CAN overcome difficult subjects in school – we believe it!

Content: Understand what symbols mean
Another important piece of a map are the symbols representing objects or places on the map. Help students learn about what a picture can symbolize, and have them guess what different symbols on a particular map might mean. After they finish guessing, point out the map key to help them understand how to interpret the map. 5. Map out the classroom
Put all these skills together to make a map of the classroom or your house! First, have your children decide how detailed they want their map to be. Do they want to include every piece of furniture, or just the main items? Next, assist them in figuring out the appropriate distances between items on the map. How big is the classroom? How far apart are the main items?
