Description

Are you teaching about the Olmecs, Maya, Aztecs & Incas in your World History class? This map activity is an easy to implement lesson to incorporate into your unit on the mesoamerican civilizations (Olmecs, Maya, Aztecs) and the Inca Empire that will help your students better understand where the civilizations developed.

This no-prep print and digital map set makes it easy for your students to create a map they can use while learning about the Olmecs, Maya, Aztecs and Incas. Students will follow a PowerPoint or Google Slides presentation step by step to label and color a map. Once students complete their map, they will use their map to answer five follow-up questions. Have a paperless classroom? Students can also label a map by dragging and dropping labels on a digital map.

Lastly, students can practice what they’ve learned by using a self-checking online map!
