Third and fourth graders spent time up close and personal with Vermont Maps.
They worked in teams and were challenged to look at any two of the
following map characteristics and then report out on what they noticed.
lines
numbers
colors
symbols
words "text"
It is amazing how much students learn about maps through an activity like this.
Check in with your child about what he or she learned about the Vermont map.
Team: Eddie and Eliot
Team: Sarah and Paige
Team: Thomas and Jack
Team: Jackson and Carter
Team: Naomi and Lily
Team: Julia and Nora
Team: Cady Scout and Jayden
Team: Ben, Alex, and Eli
Page and Sarah discovered that "numbers" and "letters"
can help you find locations on a map!
Jack and Thomas shared about "colors" and "lines" and
how a broken black line highlighted in yellow designates
roads that are closed in the winter.
Ben created a Venn "Ben" Diagram to show what Alex,
Eli, and Ben discovered about how "color" and "lines" intersect.
Eddie and Eliot share about "words" and how the size
of the font changes depending on the size of a city or
town. Larger towns have names printed in larger font.
Cady Scout and Jayden share that light green
lines outline counties.
Naomi and Lily that yellow designates what are urban areas.
Jack and Carter share several symbols and what the
symbols stand for.
