Summer is a great time to find new places to visit! A map can help you. A map is a drawing that shows where things are. It shows what things look like from above.
Maps help you find the fastest way to get somewhere. Imagine you travel to a national park. You want to find the ranger station. A map will help you. Imagine you travel to a city. You want to take the bus. How do you find the correct route? You can use a map to find that, too.
What Do You Think? What is a place that you want to go? How could you use a map to find it?
