Geography: Canada - Interactive Map - Google Slides™

For those teachers who are looking for a fun and interactive way to work with their students on a map of Canada, look no further. Students will have an opportunity to practice their ability to place/name provinces using methods that will allow for greater memory retention. The kinesthetic learner will truly enjoy learning this way and thus, more students will do better on future assessments.

This resource can be used for current work/learning, at home practice, or as an assessment tool (diagnostic, summative or formative). The resource is not grade specific and thus, can be used across multiple grades.

Student map work includes:

1. Drag and drop provinces and territories into each appropriate place to create a map of the Canada

2. Drag and drop abbreviations to the appropriate province or territory

3. Answer questions using the compass rose - pertaining to north/south/east/west

4. Name the capital city of Canada and each province and territory

5. Drag and drop each capital city to the appropriate province and territory

6. Drag and drop each capital city to answer each question using the compass rose - pertaining to north/south/east/west

All on Google Slides™ to incorporate with your Google Classroom™ or on technology within the classroom. It is also great practice as homework. This can be used on computers or tablets.

Have them try putting Canada back together! A great activity that will get them thinking and experimenting with the puzzle-like pieces. I have included tips on how to best use the puzzle pieces as some states, especially when using a tablet. An example of a tip being: hold down the ALT key when making small moves.
