This lesson teaches mapwork skills like locating positions and calculating area on a topographic map. The objectives are to understand lines of latitude and longitude, identify specific locations, and calculate area. Learners will take a quiz to review geography concepts, learn how to locate positions using coordinates, and practice calculating area using the length x width formula. An example calculation will be shown. The conclusion will summarize the key topics and address any questions, then preview the next lesson. An assessment will test learners on finding a location and calculating an area on their maps.
