Go on an adventure with Sam the cat, inspired by Joyce Hesselberth’s book, Mapping with Sam. We follow Sam through her adventures and learn about different types of maps along the way.
Students will explore key features of maps and discover that maps can take many forms. They will then take on a challenge of mapping something using map features such as legends, compass directions, scale and more.
Map your imaginary city, map your bedroom, backyard, a shelf in the fridge and for those wanting to stretch your skills, have a go at creating a walking tour using tour creator in google maps.
