map skills

Over the past week, while working with maps there has been some difficult things and some fairly easy things. One thing that I found easy while working with the maps was locating where the continents are and what the names of all of them are. I found this easy because after looking at the maps for a few minutes it became easy to locate all the continents. On the other hand, one thing that I struggled with was definitely making the scale. It was very difficult because in previous grades we didn't do a lot of work with them and it was confusing when you had to look at the other maps and your maps latitude and longitude and include it into your scale. Overall, map skills are very important because without them we would have no clue where we are and what is around us.
