Why You’ll Love the Thirteen Colonies Map<\/h3>\n

An essential map for colonial American studies!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students see the boundary lines of the original thirteen colonies and how they have changed <\/strong>over time. A fantastic way to connect geography with historical events<\/strong> of the period.<\/p>\n

Each map has loads of fun activities for students\u00a0<\/strong>including locating, labeling and shading borders, bodies of water, mountains, Native American tribes, important cities, landmarks, and more!<\/p>\n

Map Features<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Generously sized <\/strong>– 16 inches x 20 inches, ideal for students to see details.<\/li>\n
  • Outline map<\/strong> – perfect for shading & labeling with colored pencils (highly recommended), crayons, or markers<\/li>\n
  • Activities included <\/strong>– use with “on-map” activities or with your own lesson plan.<\/li>\n
  • Printed on sturdy paper and shipped flat<\/strong> – no folds, creases, or curly papers!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Why These Maps Work<\/h5>\n
      \n
    1. 1Reinforces 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.<\/li>\n
    2. 2Encourage research skills.<\/strong> Students learn to use atlases, encyclopedias and other resources.<\/li>\n
    3. 3Cooperation through teamwork.<\/strong> Students can work in groups while using our maps, encouraging the all-important skill of cooperation.<\/li>\n
    4. 4More 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.<\/li>\n
    5. 5Fun 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.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
