Description
Looking for a fun way to review and practice map skills? These social studies learning stations, centers, and task cards are a great way to reinforce cardinal and intermediate directions, legend, scale, and more!
Each station is designed specifically with Bloom’s Taxonomy in mind that helps review, reinforce, practice, and enrich what they have already learned about important map skills! It’s fun and engaging for students and low-prep for teachers!
What’s Included?
This set of learning station task cards provides a variety of activities designed for differentiation and flexible use:
- 6 Map Skills Stations that are organized based on Bloom’s Taxonomy- Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, Create. Students can complete the stations in any order or in the original order (lower-order to higher-order thinking).
- 2-page Recording Sheet – Print the recording sheet either single-sided or double-sided. Make enough copies for each student.
- 3 Learning Station Print Options – There are 3 print options – full color, printer-friendly with color, or printer-friendly with black and white. You can print a set for each small group, or you can print 1 set for the whole class.
- Answer Key for easy grading and self-checking.
- Digital Google Slides Version for use in distance learning or digital platforms.
- Instructions and Suggestions for Use to guide teachers in successful implementation.
Why Learning Stations?
Learning Stations offer an engaging, low-prep way for students to practice and review social studies concepts already taught, and apply critical thinking skills. They are ideal for:
- Independent work
- Small group practice
- Centers or stations
- Differentiated instruction for ELL/ESL students
How It Works
Option 1 – ROUND ROBIN: Distribute the 6 learning stations around the room. Give each student a copy of the recording sheet. Divide the class into 6 groups. Give students 5-10 minutes to complete each station before rotating to the next station (in numerical order). Have students either self-check or discuss answers as a class after all groups have rotated through all stations.
Option 2 – SMALL GROUP/INDEPENDENT: Allow students to work on the learning stations independently or in groups of 2-3 students. Make enough copies of the learning stations and give each student or group a copy of the recording sheet. Each student/group can work at their own pace in the order of their choice. Have students either self-check after completion or discuss answers as a class after all students have completed the stations.
