CHINA GEOGRAPHY: ONE CHILD, TWO CHILD, THREE CHILD OR MORE, POPULATION POLICIES

By Geography & Math Made Easy

Your students will love this lesson, from 6th grade to 12th grade. The PowerPoint is included in the Zip File.

In 1980, China enforced the One-Child Policy Act to due to overpopulation issues as a result of Mao Zedong's policies, as he competed with Russia for power. Once he dies in 1979, China had to look at the population issues as there was a shortage of housing and resources— and they were continuing to multiply. Something had to be done, so the government enforce Martial Law and only allowed families to have one child.

(To examine in depth the One-Child Policy Act of 1979 under Mao Zedong's leadership, click here.)

However, now the One-Child Policy has created a downward shift in population, and as the older generation dies, the population is declining at significant rates. In 2016, to encourage population growth, China's government put in to play the Two-Child Policy pleading with its citizens, "Please have a second child". When that wasn't working, in 2021, they pass a Three-Child Policy.

This lesson examines and compares China's Child Policy Acts throughout the years and their effectiveness, also giving students the opportunity to provide their opinion of various scenarios.

OBJECTIVES:

  • Understand the guidelines of the One-Child Policy Act, Two-Child Policy
    Act, and Three-Child Policy Act
  • Examine the cause and effect of China's child policy acts
  • Determine the effectiveness of each of China's child policy acts
  • Understand Population Density

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

  • Technology to display a video from the introductory list
  • Reading Activity: One-Child Policy Act (1980), Two-Child Policy Act (2016), Three-Child Policy Act (2021)
  • KWL Reading Activity & Share (Included)
  • Painters Tape
  • Laminated Agree and Disagree Sign (Tape to the wall)
  • PowerPoint: Examining China’s Child Policies (Included in zip file)

  • China's Two-Child Policy
  • China's Three-Child Policy

Middle School Math & Geography: Road Trip, Measurement & Calculations

By Geography & Math Made Easy

**Get your students moving through the United States while learning geography and math skills. **Students will move through the United States as they travel through seven destinations of their choice. This activity integrates math and geography, featuring map reading and measurement using a map scale. It includes calculations for gas costs, driving times, mileage, and more.

This resource encourages students to **problem-solve **while accurately using a map scale to plan a round trip across the United States. As students calculate distances, mileage, driving times, and gas expenses, they will develop higher-order thinking skills with real-life application.

This engaging activity empowers students to take ownership of their learning. Additionally, the instructions offer helpful tips on using yarn to teach how to measure distances on a road map. Students will learn how travel was done before GPS. Although we rely on GPS systems to get us from Point A to Point B, it is still important to know in today's digital age.

While GPS navigation systems and online mapping tools have made it easier to find our way around, having a good grasp of map scales can still come in handy. By using a map scale, students can accurately calculate distances on maps and understand the relationship between the physical size of the area being represented and its distance on the map. This skill can be useful for planning road trips, hiking excursions, or even understanding the layout of a city. Additionally, knowing how to read a map scale can help students develop spatial awareness and improve their overall geographical knowledge. So, while technology may make navigation more convenient, learning how to use a map scale is still a valuable skill that will never go out of style.

This activity incorporates math with geography:

  • Measurement
  • Gas Cost Calculations
  • Driving Time Calculations
  • Mileage Calculations &
  • Map Reading

This lesson will require each team has a large laminated road map that can be purchased through or donated by your local stores, such as Walmart or Target.

If you have a way to make poster-sized maps, you can google the road maps of America and there are many that can be found.
