A lesson plan for grades K–1 Mathematics
In this lesson, the first in an eight-part unit from Illuminations titled “Traveling Along: Measuring and Mapping,” students develop and use spatial relationships and spatial memory by creating a map of a pet. The students use visual and spatial skills, measure with nonstandard units, and describe “trips” around their pet using directional and positional words.
