  Mapping skills are difficult for both teachers to teach and children to learn as they involve basic concepts and understanding that have to be learned and acquired gradually - and at an early age. This book aims to help teachers to add structure and progression to mapwork throughout the primary phase. The photocopiable activities are graded from Level 1-5 and are organized into the following sections: location, plan views, symbols, direction, co-ordinates, distance and scale and contours. This is a structured programme, taking the child right through from basic, pre-map-reading skills at Level 1 to more complicated activities appropriate to Level 5. It concentrates on how children learn different mapping skills gradually through a range of activities.

The first book addresses the needs of Key Stage 1, Levels 1-3, and the second, Key Stage 2, Levels 3-5. The activities build on the skills and concepts underlying mapwork, and there are suggestions for practical extension activities for the home or classroom.
