Puzzles help students to exercise their memory by providing a tactile learning experience. With pieces shaped like countries and bodies of water, The continental puzzles – European edition (C.R. 912.4 C762) will help children learn to identify countries, borders, capitals and major cities, and to recognize oceans and seas. Map learning helps children to develop a sense of perspective and to understand how they fit into the world. Working with maps can also inspire students to learn more about the places on the map, leading to lessons or discussions about a wide range of topics including politics, different cultures and customs, and climate and the environment. Look for the African, North American, and South American editions as well.
