This Map Exploration lesson plan also includes:

  • Project

Are you looking for a terrific lesson on map activities for your second graders? Then, this resource is for you! The activities range from decoding, to fill-in-the-blank, to read-and-search. There is a website activity related to maps included in order to help you successfully implement the lesson. There are also worksheets embedded in the plan, and the lesson is well-written and very easy to follow. I'd highly recommend this one for your second grade geographers.
