Representing data on a map is an important form of communicating information to the reader. Information graphics need to provide the right information in the clearest format possible. Google Maps provides an easy facility to display data for any reader, and anybody can use this facility to upload their information. An excellent introduction to this topic would be for the teacher and students to explore the range of ways that data can be represented on a map. Different ways include heat maps, geographic stretching of continents, icons and symbols, colours and shades, bar graphs, and interactive maps. The lessons and activities in this unit of work are for the lower and middle secondary years of schooling and focus on how to add Placemarks and how to bulk upload more than one data point to show a broader range of data. Simple instructions and clear screenshots, along with relevant student activities make this unit of work self-instructing for every student. 14 pages Duration 1 week. Note that Sample pages only shown here. Full pack of 14 pages will be downloadable once purchase has been made.

I have found that teaching humour in the classroom is such fun - of course - and it can have relevance to many parts of the curriculum. Answer key included

Who doesn’t like the magic of city skylines? I do, and my class loves them and these worksheets on city skylines worked great. The task here is to inspect the city skyline on each worksheet PLUS review the other clue. Then identify the name of the city. The other clue may be figures about the city, the city’s logo or flag, a map of the city’s area, or a logo of the sporting club that is based in that city. The task is challenging and fun, and normally requires the student to be creative in how they investigate the answer. Do I use Google Maps? Do I use Wikipedia? Do I try to find the answer by identifying a building on the skyline? The worksheets are a great library filler and you can always pull one out for that spare moment. 20 maps in all, with an Answer Key at the end. Note that the cities are all US cities.
