ChallengeAnswers will vary, but students should write two questions, with answers, on the back of the map page.
Skill: Basic Elements Essential Element 1: Standard 1
Elements on a MapIntroducing the Map
Share with students that as they read a map, they should notice the different elements that are shown such as the title, legend, compass rose, inset map, and scale.
Have students look at the map of the United States. Ask students to locate and describe the title. Explain that this is a political map of the contiguous United States. Define the word contiguous for students. Also, talk about the legend and the compass rose. Students will notice that the legend, or key, shows state and international borders, plus the national capital and a sampling of state capitals. Show students that the compass rose includes both cardinal (N, S, E, and W) and intermediate directions (NW, NE, SE, and SW).
Students should also notice that this map contains another elementan inset map. The inset map shows North America with the contiguous United States highlighted. Remind students that Alaska is actually connected to Canada, and Hawaii is located farther out in the Pacific Ocean in an area called Oceania.
The last element is a scale. Most maps use a bar scale that is shown in both standard and metric measurements. For the purposes of this lesson, students will use a standard ruler to measure the distances between capitals on the map. Have students measure the line on the bar scale to see how many inches represent 450 miles (1 inches). Talk about how many inches on the map would represent 225 miles ( inch). As a class, find the distance between two cities. Remind students that their measurements will be approximate.
Introducing Vocabulary
bar scale a graphic that compares the distance on a map to the actual distance it represents, as in one inch represents 100 miles
cardinal directions directions of north (N), south (S), east (E), and west (W)
compass rose a directional arrow that shows cardinal and sometimes intermediate directions on a map
contiguous sharing an edge or boundary; touchinginset map a smaller map set within the border of a larger oneintermediate directions directions of northeast (NE),
northwest (NW), southeast (SE), and southwest (SW) international border a border between countries legend (key) a list that explains the symbols on a mappolitical map a map that shows human-made features and
