Map Skills Sub Plans: 6 No-Prep Geography Days, Grades 5-8 Bundle

Six emergency sub plans for map skills, in one pack. Each day is a no-prep, print-only class period of 40-45 minutes with its own made-up map and its own story: students hunt for treasure on a grid, plan a road trip by scale, fly a latitude and longitude world tour, ride a city subway, read four thematic maps like a detective, and design their own town map.

What's inside

• 6 day folders, each with the same 6 files (36 files in all)
• Day 1: Shipwreck Island Coordinates Hunt (grid squares and directions: follow 10 clues, write 4 of your own)
• Day 2: Road Trip by Map Scale (measure 6 roads, plan a trip of 210 miles or less, re-plan around a closed road)
• Day 3: Latitude & Longitude World Tour (an 8-stop flight log and 4 mystery signals)
• Day 4: City Subway Map Routes (read a 4-line subway map, plan 6 trips, direct a visitor)
• Day 5: Thematic Map Detective (4 thematic maps, 8 "which map answers it" questions, 3 pattern questions)
• Day 6: Design a Town Map (6 planner's clues, then draw a town with a legend of 8 symbols)
