Calling all social studies teachers, new or veteran, who want to expand their students' engagement with maps! Whether it is in Kindergarten or in a high school social studies course, the TEKS remind us how essential maps are in social studies instruction at almost every grade level.
Key benefits of map interaction are that it develops spatial thinking and geographic literacy, enhances critical thinking and problem solving, promotes data interpretation and visualization, and provides the opportunity for cross curricular applications in RLA, math, and science.
