Map Skills 1 examines the features of Ireland; Map Skills 2 examines various European countries and the countries, cities and physical features of Africa, Asia, North America, South America and Australia and New Zealand.
Key features include:
- Comprehensive information presented in a succinct and interesting format in Fast Facts and Did You Know? panels
- Try At Home sections that can be assigned as homework
- Activities designed to be answered by pupils with minimum teacher direction, thereby reducing management difficulties, particularly in multi-grade classes

Both Map Skills books include a free Map Assessment book shrink-wrapped with the pupil’s book. These books assess the learning outcomes following the completion of various Map Skills units.
Map Assessment 1 and 2 will help teachers monitor and assess pupils’ learning. They provide a convenient way of recording each pupil’s individual progress and facilitate the development of mapping skills from one class to the next.
