TIMELINE for INTRODUCING BASIC MAP SKILLS (As described through PASS – Social Studies) Pre-Kindergarten Locate and describe familiar places Community – begin to develop an understanding of community Kindergarten City/town/state/country – begin to develop an understanding of all of these. Map – identify a map as a drawing of a particular location. Oklahoma – recognize Oklahoma on a map. 1st Grade Map & Locations Place objects on a map and describe locations near/far, up/down, left/right/above/below, in front of/behind. Cardinal directions Construct maps individually and with other students using cardinal directions Map reading Identify locations on a map Using Maps & Globes Locate community, United States, bodies of water, four oceans, seven continents 2nd Grade Construct simple maps Identify major landmarks of the community and construct simple maps showing these – connect roads, and directions. Give titles to map. Cardinal & Intermediate directions Identify locations on a basic map, write directions for going from one location to another – use directional indicators – cardinal and intermediate directions Identify basic landforms, bodies of water, four oceans, seven continents and human-made features such as roads and towns. Locate on a map of the United States: Oklahoma, six surrounding states, Mississippi River, Great Lake Regions, Appalachian Mountains, Great Plains, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. 3rd Grade Map Symbols: Legend reference to land, water, roads, and cities. Map Elements: Construct simple maps of seven continents – should include essential elements such as title, key, directional indicators and date. Equator & Prime Meridian Use equator and prime meridian to identify the four hemispheres. Parallels of Latitude and Meridians of Longitude Develop skills in locating places across the globe using latitude and longitude Created by B Webster Little Axe 2006 1 4th Grade Atlases, Charts, Graphs, and Visual images: Interpret geographic information using primary and secondary sources. Political, Physical, Thematic Maps & globes: Identify and interpret basic political, physical and thematic maps and globes. Construct and use maps of the regions of the US, the continents, and the world to demonstrate understanding of relative location, direction, latitude, longitude, scale, size, and shape, using appropriate geographic vocabulary, tools, and technologies. State & Capitals: Locate and identify the states and capitals and major metropolitan centers of the US by region (e.g., New York City, Los Angles, Dallas, and Miami). Identify the major landforms and bodies of water of the United States. 5th Grade Students will review and strengthen geographic skills. Identify, evaluate and draw conclusions from different kinds of maps, graphs, charts, other sources and representations such as aerial and shuttle photographs, satellite-produced images, geographic information system (GIS), encyclopedias, almanacs, dictionaries, atlases, and computer-based technologies. Construct and use maps of locales, regions, continents, and the world that demonstrate an understanding of mental mapping, relative location, direction, latitude, longitude, key, legend, map symbols, scale, size, shape and landforms. 6th Grade Students will use geographic representations to draw conclusions. Apply the concepts of scale, orientation, latitude and longitude, and physical regions. Compare political, physical, and thematic maps. Define, recognize, and locate basic landforms and bodies of water on appropriate maps and globes. 7th Grade World Geography is taught all year and has six standards to be taught. The major themes of geography are taught during this year. Students learn that geography is the study of spatial patterns of the human and physical dimensions of the world. Students explore how these spatial patterns form, change over time, and relate to one another throughout various regions. Students examine the cultural, political, and economic developments, physical geography, and population distribution for each region. Students use maps and other geographic representations, tools, and technologies to analyze relationships between people, places, and environments of world regions from a spatial perspective. As students proceed through middle and high school they are expected to demonstrate competencies in the use and application of the map skills learned in relationship to historical and present day associations.
