What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use what they know about a community to complete a task with a real purpose. They might read a neighborhood map, recommend a crosswalk location, and explain their choice.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can read the map key and locate streets and buildings. They can choose a crosswalk spot and point to map details, such as a school and park, to support their choice.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may pick a spot only because it is near their own home. They may name buildings on the map without explaining how those places support their choice.
How to Assess It
- Hand out a map showing a school, park, library, and two streets. Ask students to circle a spot for a new crosswalk and name two map details that support their choice.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a paper street grid and building cutouts; have them place a school, park, and library, then draw a crosswalk.
Show two proposed crosswalk spots on a map and ask, “Which would help more walkers? What on the map makes you think so?”
Play Map Match: students match school, park, and library symbol cards to places on a printed neighborhood map.
Use a printed map of streets near school; students mark existing crosswalks and write who might use each one.
