The Global Puzzle
Description:
The
Global Puzzle is a 600-piece puzzle of the world that is unique because
it is the only map puzzle that actually has pieces shaped like the
countries
of the world. You can't complete it without figuring out where
every country
is located. No other puzzle comes with such a superb
geography lesson!
The Ocean Guide
To
help alleviate the challenge of all blue pieces and to further enhance
your geographic knowledge, the oceans are filled with facts about all
the countries of the world. The list is in alphabetical order
starting with Afghanistan on the top left and ending with Zimbabwe on
the far right.
Suggestion
We recommend you start with the outer black frame, move on to the
oceans and finish with the land pieces. Since the countries,
states and provinces do not interlock, it is helpful to complete the
oceans first so that you can use them as a frame for the land pieces.
Are you puzzled about how to differentiate instruction to meet
students'
needs? Seventh graders at an Iowa Middle School have discovered that
"hands on" is not only fun, but it also involves strategy and teamwork.
This global puzzle is a high interest activity which enables students to
learn
through touch.
