Stage 1 Identify Desired Results Establish Goals: (G) Maine Learning Results: Mathematics - B. Data B2 Data Analysis Pre-K-2 Students read, construct, and interpret picture graphs. C. Geometry C2 Geometric Measurement Pre-K-2 Students understand how to measure length and capacity and use appropriate units.

What understandings are desired? Students will understand: (U) • how to construct and analyze a map • that maps can be used to show where different things are in relationship to another, they help you get from Point A to Point B • that a title, scale, key, compass rose, symbols, and date are all essential components to a map • how to interpret data using maps

What essential questions will be considered? Essential Questions: (Q) • How do you construct and analyze a map? • Why are maps helpful and useful? • What are the essential components to a map? • How do maps help you interpret data?

What key knowledge and skills will students acquire as a result of this unit?

Students will know: (K) • how to answer questions using maps • how to interpret and solve problems using maps • how to interpret and analyze data from maps • directionality, spatial awareness, identification of symbols, and comprehension of distance • concepts of size differences between continents and countries, oceans and seas • different time zones

Students will be able to: (S) • recognize and develop mathematical applications when using maps • understand how a map key and directional signs are tools for interpreting a map • create maps to include features such as geographic location, compass rose, and appropriate size and shape
