This unit teaches students about distance and direction through making treasure maps, charts, and journals. Students will learn the four cardinal directions, map scales, and that maps are useful for getting from one place to another. The teacher's role is to teach the curriculum and help students succeed, while students should be open to learning and asking questions. At home, parents can help students complete assignments involving written responses, videos, photos or journals about prompts given before, during and after the unit. Parents should also discuss direction when driving with their child. The unit will use project-based learning where students work in teams to draw maps and find hidden treasures.
