Check understanding
- Locate their suburb or town, its region and their state or territory on a set of maps at different scales
- Label the state or territory capital and one regional centre on a map of their state or territory
- Trace an interconnection across scales (e.g. milk from a regional dairy farm to a local shop, or travelling to a city hospital) and draw it as a flow map
“Looking at a map with your child, can they find your suburb or town, your region and your state — and explain how things like food travel from farms to your local shop?”
