From charts and graphs to longitude and latitude, there's no doubt geography can be a tricky subject to learn. This series helps children understand geography by presenting topics in a clear, uncomplicated way. It shows age-appropriate maps with fun activity questions, and includes review questions to solidify information. Plenty of full-color photos are included as well. As an example, in Level 4 there's a simple map of a section of Beijing with a scale and map key. Questions help kids practice their skills: "On this map, one inch equals how many miles?" "About how many kilometers is it from Mao's tomb to the Fengshan Restaurant?" Some bigger reviews are included in the back, along with glossaries, maps and charts. 72 pgs each, pb. -Chad

Somewhat Repetitive; Could be more in-depth
Pretty good. But the first few chapters go over concepts already covered in the Level 3 book. A little more detail and a more in-depth look at concepts might have been better.

Is there an answer key for Understanding Geography?
There are no answers in this book. Nor is there an answer key to accompany it.
Sounds like it covers Geography well for grade level
It looks like a good resource to help my son learn more about maps.
We used Level 3 of this book, and I thought it provided an excellent hands-on understanding of maps and how to use them.
This course material looked like it would be easy to teach. It looked like it was something that my child would not get frustrated with and that it would be engaging.
