Who
is it for?
|
Staff
and learners at all schools where geography is taught to Grade 12.
The MapPack Project aims to put the local topographic map sheet on
the wall of every senior geography classroom in the country.
Out of an estimated target of 3 500 schools teaching geography
to matric, we have reached about one third.
|
What
is it?
|
An
envelope containing maps and additional information to help with teaching
the map use section of the geography syllabus.
Using information supplied by the school, the local 1:50 000
topographic map sheet is identified.
Subject to stock availability, five of these local map sheets are
supplied in the MapPack. In
many cases this is the first time that teachers and learners see their
local environment portrayed on a map in enough detail to identify familiar
residential areas, roads, relief features and their own schools.
|
How
to get it?
|
A
MapPack is supplied FREE to all senior secondary schools teaching
geography to Grade 12. A
request form will be supplied by the MapAware Project.

of every South African senior secondary geography classroom.
The MapPack envelope contains 5 free local topographic map
sheets and additional information for teachers and learners.
The envelope will be despatched free of charge to each
qualifying school that responds to the offer giving the information
required.
Only 1 MapPack per school.
There
are 1 916 sheets in the South African topographic map.
We need to find the right sheet for your school and we want to

support education and promote map literacy.
Please give both addresses.
If your school does not have a street address please describe
where your school is.
The envelope will include 2 copies of Mapping
South Africa, a full colour brochure containing information about
