Service Description:

Physical map of the world for grades 4-12. National Geographic's graded-series of maps are the first to address the unique needs of K-12 students as they advance their understanding of our World. Unlike other classroom poster maps, the world maps use the Winkel-Triple projection, which provides the best combination of size, shape, and distance giving the student the best visual representation of the Earth's surface in two dimensions. This solves the effect seen on other maps where Greenland appears larger than South America. Our Physical Series, grades 6-12, helps advancing students understand the World's diverse landforms, Oceans, and terrain.
