About this worksheet
A map is a picture of where places are. A kindergarten child first learns this with places they know well: a house, a school, a shop, and a park. This worksheet shows a small map where each place is a picture, with no printed names to read. A grown-up reads each short question, and the child circles the picture that answers it. Support pages draw three places in a column and ask what is above or below the place in the middle.
Standard pages add a fourth place and ask which place is at the top or at the bottom of the map. Challenge pages also ask which place is in the middle. The child always starts at the place the question names, touches it, and moves one step. Ask them to explain the move in their own words: first I found the house, then I looked above it.
What your child will learn
- Understand that a map shows where places are
- Use above and below on a map
- Find the top, the bottom and the middle of a map
- Find the place a question names before moving
C3 Framework standard: D2.Geo.1.K-2
