Parts of a Map: Posters & Sticky Note Scavenger Hunt

If you study maps, be sure to check out this resource for additional fun in your classroom!

This will help your students recognize and understand the five parts of a map:
- title
- compass rose
- key/ legend
- scale
- grid

Have students bring in maps from home, spread them around the room, give each child a set of printed sticky notes and have them label the different parts of the map they see.

Included in this set are:
- full-size posters of the five parts of a map
- sticky-note templates for your printer
- full-sheet sticky-note templates of each part
- numbered sheet sticky-note template for formative assessment
- observation pages
- two-page assessment

Hang the poster in your class or make smaller versions to put on a binder ring using the tutorial HERE.
