GeoLiteracy GeoSTEM ELL

Description

The principles of reading or constructing a
coordinate plane can also be applied to map reading
in terms of lines of latitude and longitude. This
understanding of mathematic and geography skills
can be useful in the world outside of the classroom
and show how mathematics concepts have real world
applications. In this lesson students will learn how to find and
position coordinates on a horizontal and vertical
number line. They will then transfer this knowledge
to locating places on a map using latitude and
longitude.
