Instructional Ideas
- Have learners try drawing a rough sketch of a world population map prior to showing this resource. Then, have them compare the two maps and reflect on their impressions of the world versus the reality
- Project a traditional map beside this resource and lead a discussion of how populations compare to each country's land area
Pros
- Colorful visual that utilizes a mathematical grid to illustrate the world population
- Offers several cross-curricular opportunities
Cons
- Some of the smaller print is very difficult to read, but that text is merely identifying sources rather than information related to the population map
