skills and geographical thinking. "

Why Map Skills Matter
What can a map tell us?
According to the lower secondary education curriculum of Cyprus, Maps are defined as a drawing of a surface from above, as a plan on a scale. A map then can be a tool which represents physical and human geography. However, a map can tell us a lot more than just where we at. This is called as the social relevance of a map. Maps show migration patterns, inequality in resource distribution or political boundaries shaped by democratic or exclusionary practices.
Therefore, Its potential for the comprehensive development of map skills is great, as it leads to the use of maps as a source of information for solving problems and answering geographical questions. Moreover, map work is consider to be the main goal of geography education but should be combined with different sources of information and disciplines to be more accurate and explain real-world phenomena such as migration, citizenship and discources of belonging (Barnett & Low, 2004).
