I know we have all been working hard at imporving our mapping skills, so here is a fun online game that will also help you perfect this skill. Keep practicing and try to beat the game in the least amount of time. Make sure you read all instructions before you begin.

Hannah's World

This is an excellent game that all students can use to improve their mapping skills. It is a requirement in the grade 6 Social Studies Curriculum that students "use latitude and longitude coordinates to locate major citites and countries of the world" (The Ontario Curriculum: Social Studies, p. 48). This activity is included to help students perfect their skills of locating an area on a map using longitude and latitude coordinates, but finding major cities and being able to locate them on a map will be covered over the next 2 classes. Be sure to encourage your child to practice this skill or they will not be ready to build upon these skills in the next few lessons.
