Where, Why There,
and How Connected?
A pin tells you where. Spatial concepts help you understand the relationships around it.
Learning targets and AP connection
By the end, I can…
- Distinguish absolute and relative location.
- Define space, place, flows, distance decay, time-space compression, and pattern.
- Describe spatial patterns using a map or quantitative evidence.
- Explain why a nearby location may take longer to reach.
- Use a stated priority and geographic evidence to support a choice.
AP Objective PSO-1.A: Define major geographic concepts that illustrate spatial relationships.
AP Skill 3.B: Describe spatial patterns presented in maps and in quantitative and geospatial data.
Big idea: Relationships among and between places reveal spatial patterns.
First correct try: 2 points. Second: 1 point. Later correct tries: 0 points. Matching and sorting award these points per row; other activities award them for the whole answer. Revealing an activity makes its score 0. Feedback remains available. You choose when to continue.
