What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students read legends, labels, and scales on maps and graphs. They compare geographic data, explain a pattern, and use it to make a prediction.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can find the driest counties on a drought map and check rainfall trends in a graph. They use both sources to explain which county may face worsening drought.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may assume darker map colors always mean more without checking the legend. They may mistake one low rainfall reading for a trend or make a prediction without citing data.
How to Assess It
- Give students a drought map and a rainfall graph. Ask: Which county is most likely to face worsening drought next month? Use one detail from each source.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a printed drought map and rainfall graph; have them shade at-risk counties and predict where dry conditions may spread.
Show two satellite images of a river before and after heavy rain; ask, 'What changed, and which nearby areas might flood next?'
Run a map-match relay: teams pair four population maps with matching bar charts and explain one match using the legend.
Open a local flood-risk map, locate the school, and ask students which nearby roads might close after heavy rain.
