Intersection map

I've used puff paint for the curb.
Sandpaper is the footpath (sidewalk)
Bubble paper is the place where one walks across the street.
This, by the way, is a controlled intersection (traffic lights)
That little bit of brown is the island...
Top right is the school, and bottom left is the shopping center.

Apparently, it is a good idea to cut the upper right hand corner off... so that a student can tell you how the map should be held.

However, I get the student to move the map to represent where things are in real life. This is another step in mapping skills, but for me, I think it is essential that the student understands that a map can be moved...

Of course, one needs to make sure that the student understands that a symbols represents real life objects.
