Map skills are important for geographers both in the classroom and when participating in schemes such as the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Secondary students are required to learn to interpret Ordnance Survey maps in the classroom and in field work, including using grid references and scale, topographical and other thematic mapping.
With these KS3 map skills in mind, we have gathered together a collection of lessons, worksheets, booklets and activities to support you in teaching your geography students how to interpret a range of sources of geographical information, including maps.
