    Why These Maps Work<\/h5>\n
      \n
    1. 1<\/span>Reinforces Neatness.<\/strong> Cartography is a great way to learn paper-to-pencil skills. For example, students may have to make a word fit into a small or odd-shaped space, while still maintaining legibility. Students learn and carry these presentation skills into their other school work.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. 2<\/span>Encourage research skills.<\/strong> Students learn to use atlases, encyclopedias and other resources.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. 3<\/span>Cooperation through teamwork.<\/strong> Students can work in groups while using our maps, encouraging the all-important skill of cooperation.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. 4<\/span>More than geography.<\/strong> Our maps bring together geography and art skills, as well as providing a link to other disciplines such as math, literature and history. You can use our maps for a variety of topics and lessons. Be sure to check out our free map resources and CartoCraze membership.<\/span><\/li>\n
    5. 5<\/span>Fun to use.<\/strong> Students love to color and use their imaginations. Because our maps are fun to use, they make teaching and learning geography easier.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
