Mapping My Day

Follow Flora and her family as she takes us through her day with maps—from breakfast, to school, and even through a dog agility course! Kids love maps!

Learning to read and draw maps is a fun and natural way to develop spatial thinking skills—how we think about and understand the world around us and use concepts of space for problem solving. Included is a Note to Parents, Caregivers, and Professionals with more information about spatial thinking and awareness, as well as games and activities designed to encourage map-building skills and to enhance math and science learning.
