At hard level, first graders create part of their own legend. The worksheet shows a small town map with eight symbols, but the key has three blank spaces. Children study the map, decide what each mystery symbol most likely represents based on context clues like nearby roads or trees, and write or draw the answer in the legend. A final question asks them to name two symbols they see most often.
