CERCA SLIDES
Maps
These visual aids help us “see” the world beyond our immediate environment. From finding the fastest route to the grocery store to determining where people vote, the way in which maps are drawn structures our lives.
With this set of CERCA slides, students in grades 3-12 tackle the question, “Why is geometry important in creating maps?”
