Asia Intermediate Classroom Pull Down Map w/ Backboard by BrightWay Educational

Sixth graders can name China and India. Asking them to place the Ural divide, the Tibetan Plateau, or the Bay of Bengal is where the lesson usually stalls. This Asia intermediate classroom pull-down map from BrightWay Educational was built with teachers for grades 6–8, pairing bright political coloring with shaded relief so terrain and borders read together on one sheet.

It mounts on a spring roller with backboard, so it pulls down over a whiteboard and retracts flat when the unit ends.

• Equal Earth projection, an equal-area projection that keeps landmass sizes honest with minimal distortion
• Shaded relief showing mountain ranges, islands, lakes, rivers, oceans, and marine features
• Georeference and degree lines for teaching latitude, longitude, and the global grid
• National capitals, major cities, and disputed areas labeled for political geography discussion
• Inset of the Arctic tying the northern polar region to the continent
• Choose the flags variation, or educational panels covering population density and an elevation and terrain ramp

BrightWay updates these plates regularly, which matters to social studies departments and home school parents tired of outdated country names. Also available from Map Shop as a standard wall map.
