Drawing maps: Real and imaginary places

The Ministry is migrating nzmaths content to Tāhurangi.           
Relevant and up-to-date teaching resources are being moved to Tāhūrangi (tahurangi.education.govt.nz). 
When all identified resources have been successfully moved, this website will close. We expect this to be in June 2024. 
e-ako maths, e-ako Pāngarau, and e-ako PLD 360 will continue to be available.

After exploring and reading maps use scrap paper and draw maps of real places like your house/bedroom/garden/neighbourhood.

 

Encourage your child to draw imaginary places like treasure islands or underwater cities from the perspective of looking down on the place from up high.

Take your child to the top of high places and look down and ask them to imagine it as a map.
