A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Choose a few locations instead of expecting learners to memorise every name. Page 3 can check labels added to the boundary version.
- Compare the national outline with the divided map. Introduce the terms province and territory as labels used by the resource.
- Find selected numbered areas and read their names, such as British Columbia, Ontario and Nunavut. Practise relative position language.
- Let pairs give location clues for an area, then reveal and check the name using page 3.
Support and extension
Support with a short name bank and pointing. Extend with comparisons between two areas' positions; the maps do not supply capitals, population figures or a travel itinerary.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
