Africa Map for Elementary Classrooms
Fifty-four countries, and nearly every one of them is a brand new name to a second grader. This Africa map for elementary classrooms from BrightWay Educational handles that with high-contrast country coloring and oversized type that stays legible from the back row. BrightWay developed the series alongside working teachers and revises the plates as names and boundaries change.
- Azimuthal equidistant projection, which holds landmass proportions with minimal distortion so students read Africa at its true size
- Bright color separation between countries and territories, with national capitals and major global cities labeled
- Physical geography carried alongside the political layer: oceans, mountain ranges, lakes, and river systems
- Georeference and degree lines for teaching the latitude and longitude grid
- Flags version adds the flag of each country shown
- Educational Panels version adds a population density panel with major cities highlighted, plus an elevation and terrain panel with an elevation ramp, shaded relief, and a side-on elevation profile
Built for grades 1 through 5. Map Shop offers it on paper, laminated, mounted to foam core, or framed in black or walnut molding for elementary classrooms, homeschool rooms, and school library corners. The same map is available as a classroom pull down.
