| | Synopsis
|
Maps, even simple ones, give children the opportunity to navigate in
their world with confidence. Maps give them a visual reference that
can be checked over and over again. Map reading is an important skill
for children to learn. It fosters spatial awareness, encourages math
problem-solving skills, develops creative thinking and reasoning
skills, and builds visual literacy.
In this light-hearted educational video, students learn the
fundamentals of developing their mapping skills. Join our three hosts,
Matthew, Laura and Evangeline on a hike through their local
conservation area. Young students will enjoy watching as big brother,
Matthew gets his crew lost. With the help of their map and Evangelines
animated computer tablet, the three find their way back to the parking
lot - not before some zany antics from Matthew.
Back at home, with the help of a model helicopter drone, the three
discuss their adventure and learn more about reading maps. Students
are introduced to terms such as birds eye view, cardinal directions,
compass, directional/positional words such as above/below; near/far;
left/right; up/down, map, and scale.
