Geography, Map Projections: Which Map Would You Use? Google Slide + Powerpoint
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Teaching map projections can be challenging. This lesson is an easy way to give students the foundation they need to understand what map projections are and how each has its own level of accuracies and distortions based on the size and shape of land masses and measurement/distance between points. This works very well with my students and is a fund group cooperative activity that requires higher-level thinking skills and or helps students develop higher-level thinking skills by analyzing various map projections, and determining their accuracies and distortions.
LESSON: MAP PROJECTIONS: WHICH ONE WOULD YOU USE?
GRADE LEVEL: 7-12th
TIME FRAME: 90-120 MINUTES (TWO 60-MINUTE CLASS PERIODS)
TYPE OF ACTIVITY: GROUP COOPERATION ACTIVITY
NOTE: ADJUST MARGINS UNDER PAGE SETUP BEFORE PRINTING or SCALE TO FIT TO AVOID GRAPHICS FROM BEING CUT OFF.
