Symbol Sandbox

This is a great program for Foundation Phase learners.

The software is a sandbox and the learners can either create

their own map, or they can solve the picture.

The learners are given the map in the sandbox and they are

then required to use the symbols to complete the map.

This is great for introduction to geography map work!

Overlap Maps

Overlap Maps is a free service that can be used to quickly compare the

size of countries, states, provinces, and some bodies of water. To create

a visual comparison of two countries select one country from the "overlap

this" menu and select one country from the "onto this" menu. The comparisons

you make are displayed on a map. You can make comparisons from different

categories. For example, you can overlap South Africa onto United Kingdom.

Very Cool!!

This real-world lesson helps children understand and use the
compass directions north, south, east, and west.
Children must compose and follow multiple-step directions and
explore locations on a grid map to help Carlos find his way
home from the playground.
In the end, children can use the tickets they earned from
correct answers to play a fun arcade-style game.

Geometry co-ordinates

This is super cool!
Children join Raleigh in an effort to put together the pieces of the Narthex stone
and uncover the lost temple. In order to find each piece, students must locate
and plot ordered pairs and use the origin of a coordinate plane as a point of reference.
Exciting interaction, cool characters, and specific feedback make this
lesson a favorite amongst parents and students.
