My+Opening+Week+Diagnostics

Diagnostics are a fabulous tool to identify gaps or weaknesses in key areas of learning.
What can students do, how much do they understand...

Diagnostics for Geograpy Mapping:

Teacher prep: Create a map of Canada on a blank puzzle, duplicate it four times, separate maps into small zip lock bag and break apart puzzle into pieces

Have students get into groups of 3 to put the puzzle pieces together (provinces, territories including relevant land forms) This tests the students mapping skills by recreating the map of Canada It also allows them to utilize group working skills, and collaborate together for problem solving

Good for Grades 7/8
