• This presentation demonstrates the use of instructional materials that may be used with a diverse population of students who require similar cues and prompts.

SS7G1 The student will locate selected features of Africa..b. Locate on a world and regional political-physical map the countries of: Democratic Republic of the Congo (Zaire), Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Sudan, and South Sudan.

This standard is addressed in the following activities.

Africa Political Regional Map with Names of countries in Colors

identical to Colors of countries in Map are

used to TEACHthe location of the countries on

the Political Regional Map of Africa.

ZIMBABWE

CHAD

EGYPT

ANGOLA

SOUTH AFRICA

ZIMBABWE

When the student has learned the location of the countries of Africa with the use of the mapswith names in colors that match the color

of the country on the map, then the studentuses maps without the names of countries in

Colors.

Colors.

EGYPT

SOUTHAFRICA

SUDAN

NIGERIA

Some students are able to learn the names and locations

of other countries of Africa. These students may use the same

maps with the use of other colors with the same method as used

With the original countries.

NIGER

EGYPT

SUDAN

ANGOLA

ANGOLA

MADAGASCARTANZANIA

SIERRA LEONE

Among the other uses of these maps are the printing of the

powerpoint presentations so that the student may match the written name

Of the countries with the locations of these countries.

Since the same colors are used for the countries in each

map, students may learn to use crayons or

colored pencils of the same colors and locate and color the location of the

countries on the identical maps that were usedfor teaching.

Another way to use the maps of Africa is to incorporate thesemaps with coordinate grids.

Three possible uses of these grids are:

1.Students mayplot the coordinates onto the map of Africa.

2. Students may then identify the name of the country where the plotted point is located.

3. Students may be asked to state the coordinates of plotted points.

MCC.7.RP.2Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities. a.Decide whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship, e.g., by testing for equivalent ratios in a table or graphing on a coordinate plane and observing whether the graph is a straight line through the options.

These next activities are prerequisite skills for MCC 7. RP.2. These activities review plotting points on coordinate planes which is a needed skill for the completion of this standard.
