Puzzles that Make Geography Fun

Puzzles that Make Geography Fun | AP Human Geography Education | Scoop.it

"Ever since London mapmaker and engraver John Spilsbury pasted one of his maps on a sheet of hardwood and cut it into small pieces with a marquetry saw (circa 1760), jigsaw puzzles have been used as a tool to teach children geography. Today, they are still a fun way for kids to learn more about their own country as well as the nations of the world."

App Store - Tangled

Read reviews, get customer ratings, see screenshots, and learn more about Tangled on the App Store. Download Tangled and enjoy it on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

 

Quite simply, this is the best game on iTunes that I have found for enhancing spatial thinking (and it's free!).  The silver dots are all connected with lines (grey ones are untangled, blue ones are still tangled) and you need to find the spatial relationships that untangles it all.  Geography is about understanding the linkages, connections and patterns--and our world at times can feel Tangled.

Where in the World? A Google Earth Puzzle

Where in the World? A Google Earth Puzzle | AP Human Geography Education | Scoop.it

I've posted one of these before, but this Google Earth puzzle comes with multiple choice options and instant feedback.  Looking at the world via Google Earth offers striking images of the diversity of our planet and the impact that humans have had on it. This multiple-choice puzzle based on 25 Google Earth images is part 2 of a series (part 1 doesn't have the multiple choice options).
