Maps and Data
Use a map with a table to draw a conclusion.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 3
- A map shows where. A table shows how many. Put them together, and you can figure out more than either one tells you alone.
- Here are the ten biggest cities in the census of 1900. New York City came first, with more than 3 million people.
- Now look at where they are. Most sit in the Northeast or around the Great Lakes. Nearly all are beside a lake, a big river, or the ocean. Boats and trains brought goods and workers there.
- That's a conclusion you can only reach by using both. The numbers tell you which cities were big. The map helps you see why.
