Revision: Map skills

Today I wasn't here! So the activities were a bit different.
We started by looking at the various map skills using a powerpoint which you can download from here (click on GCSE revision and look for 'Map Skills revision') although it does need a teacher to go through it with you.

Everyone then made up their own journey around the local area, giving map directions using the map skills we had just talked about.

Still not sure how to use a map? Why not visit this great interactive site from the Ordnance Survey which has loads of ideas about using maps and understanding map skills.
