Map Symbols Worksheet – Label & Identify

Map Symbols Worksheet – Label & Identify
, Not Grade Specific,

Maps communicate location through small pictures, and this page asks learners to reason about what several unlabeled symbols could mean. Each illustration receives a student-created map label rather than being matched to a fixed bank. A final open prompt invites an original symbol, extending recognition into visual design. The activity supports discussion about why a useful symbol must be simple, distinctive, and understandable to another map reader.

A pirate ship develops across three pages through a complex route spanning many hundreds of values.

Race to the Top Interactive Game

Race to the Top Interactive Game
, Not Grade Specific,

Up to five teams work through sections of problems on a mountain-shaped game board, checking in with the teacher after finishing each section before rolling a die to reveal one of six movement rules — some multiply the roll, some average two rolls, and one lets trailing teams catch up. A team that answers incorrectly must find and fix its mistakes before checking in again, and the first team to reach the top wins five percent extra credit on the next test, according to the built-in Game Rules slide. The problem numbers shown on the board are placeholders in an editable PowerPoint file, so a teacher fills in whichever problem set the class is working through that day.
