Do you have students who can show you better than they can tell you? Create these simple magnet maps to allow students to answer questions without having to write or explain an answer. Let them show you regions of the United States. Ask them to point to the states, cities, or landmarks you are studying. Have them assemble the map without cues or a visual. Check out La Casa de Crafts for information on how to create your own magnetic map.
Keep in mind, you don’t have to use magnets only on maps, you can create magnetic puzzles, words/letters, graphs, charts, or geometric shapes.
