CONTENT STATEMENT
Maps and their symbols, including cardinal directions, can be interpreted to answer questions about location of places.
CONTENT ELABORATION
In second grade, students begin to interpret the location and physical features found on maps using cardinal directions. At this level, students understand that maps can answer questions about location and human-made and natural physical features.
Map symbols represent physical characteristics of places on the map. The map key explains what each symbol means. Maps may be viewed in print or electronic format.
EXPECTATIONS FOR LEARNING
Use print and electronic maps to describe information about location of places.
Construct a map that includes a map title, key, compass rose with cardinal directions.
