Students will learn about the different regions, provinces, territories, communities, bodies of water, natural resources, mapping symbols, and kinds of maps. They will develop skills such as locating places on a map in a variety of ways, labeling and colouring maps, recognizing different types of maps, and determining the characteristics of a region and its economic influence on Canada.
