This easy worksheet introduces second graders to the many kinds of maps people use every day. Students sort weather map, road map, and zoo map alongside silly distractors like pizza, crayon, and blanket into Type of Map or Not a Type of Map. Fill-in-the-blanks then cover clouds on a weather map, a driver's route, east on the right side of most maps, and a globe shaped like a ball.

True-or-false items finish the page, testing whether kids know a road map shows streets and that not every map uses the same symbols. Children walk away ready to pick the right map for the right job.
