A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Helping Your Child Learn Geography - October 1996 Location: Position on the Earth's Surface Look at a map or globe. Where are places located? Every place has a "global address" that tells exactly where in the world it's located, just as your home has a street address. There are two numbers in a global addressa number for latitude and one for longitude . If you know these numbers and how to use them, you can find any place in the world and give its absolute location . (For definitions, see the glossary at the end of this booklet.) Why are things located in particular places and how do these places influence our lives? Location can describe how one place relates to another. For example, the Panama Canal was cut across an extremely narrow strip of land in Central America. It provides a shipping lane between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, eliminating the need for long, dangerous journeys around South America. Activities Learning Direction To help young children learn location, make sure they know the name of their town and their street address, and that they can describe the building and neighborhood in which they live. Then, when you talk about other places, they have something of their own with which to compare. Children need to understand positional words. Teach children words like "above'' and "below" in a natural way when you talk with them or give them directions. When picking up toys to put away, say, "Please put your toy into the basket on the "right,'' or "Put the green washcloth into the drawer." Right and left are as much directional terms as north, south, east, and west. Other words that describe such features as color, size, and shape are also important.
