Mapping Our World

This unique interactive website works with maps and globes to transform pupils’ understanding of the world.

Winner of a Geographical Association Gold award and a BAFTA award for primary learning, Mapping Our World allows pupils to flatten a globe, turn a map into a globe, and merge different map projections.

The nine structured activities come with teachers’ notes and are designed for whole class learning on an interactive whiteboard or PC. The website supports the Geography curriculum and is also ideal for bringing a global approach to Citizenship, PSE and ICT.

• Flatten a globe into a map and transform a map into a globe.
• Merge different projections.
• Develop enquiry and problem-solving skills.
• Investigate how different maps affect our world view.
