WHAT THE STUDENTS ARE SAYING:
"Before, when I heard the name of a country, I just thought of it as a name, and it didn't really matter to me. After you do a memory map, it's kinda neat because you can picture it in your mind, not only that country and what it's like there, but everything else around it. You have a map in your head wherever you go." - Seventh Grader, Belmont, MA
Population by Lat and by Long A couple of fascinating maps, and some helpful text. These maps
plot population distribution on the axes of latitude and longitude. Not all that useful
or precise, but very strangely beautiful.
