Cons: doesn't always cover what we need/study
Grades Used: middle school
We use the Map Trek maps with our history/literature spine. They are nice visually and colorful. However, they all start looking the same. I like the ease of use for printing and teacher keys. They don’t always line up with what we’re teaching. I wish I could pick and choose maps for a custom CD-rom to match our needs. They are a great all-in-one map resource, though. You can view/download samples.
