๐ Topic Summary
School map worksheets help 2nd graders learn about maps, symbols, and directions within their school. They learn to identify key locations like the library, cafeteria, and classrooms on a map. Understanding school maps helps students develop spatial reasoning and navigation skills, making them more confident in their environment.
These worksheets also introduce basic map elements such as legends (or keys) and cardinal directions (North, South, East, West). By completing these activities, children begin to understand how maps represent real-world places and how they can use them to find their way around.
