Find the Parts of a Map Worksheet

Find the Parts of a Map Worksheet
, Not Grade Specific,

Map Elements guides students through observing an actual map rather than memorising isolated definitions. Separate sections name the title, legend, cardinal directions, and scale, with prompts to record what each element shows and how it supports map use. Learners can work from a classroom map, atlas page, or teacher-selected example. The repeated question structure encourages functional explanations, such as how a legend decodes symbols or a scale connects map distance with real distance.

Finish the Pattern

Finish the Pattern
, Not Grade Specific,

Finish the Pattern asks learners to inspect each picture sequence, determine the repeating unit, and choose the image that belongs in the blank. The required pieces are printed on the same page for cutting and pasting into place. Because the patterns use visual symbols rather than numerals or words, every response is checked by whether the completed sequence continues its established repetition.

How To Write To Persuade In Newspaper Articles (9-14 years)
, Not Grade Specific,

The pack begins by defining persuasive purpose and asking writers to consider viewpoint, audience, message, and organisation. Successive teaching pages examine figurative language, fact versus opinion, connectives, rhetorical questions, repetition, emotive wording, contrast, pronouns, statistics, quotations, and other persuasive choices. Newspaper-specific sections then address bias, formal and informal registers, headlines, captions, direct speech, and reported speech. Model reports lead into a letter-writing prompt that asks learners to challenge a newspaper position.
