Description

The Playground Problem is an engaging story that teaches young readers about maps and basic spatial thinking. Emma and David find themselves unable to play at their local playground due to a chain and padlock, but with the help of their neighbor Kayla and her dog Blazer, they set out to find a new location.

Using a colorful comic book-style story, this hybrid graphic novel/activity book guides readers through the process of using basic mapping skills, distance, direction, spatial pattern analysis, and overlay skills to find the perfect location. Along the way, they encounter obstacles that require teamwork and quick thinking to overcome.

Written by Dr. Lauren Scott Griffin, a GIS expert with over 33 years of experience in software development and GIS at Esri, this book is an entertaining way for kids to learn introductory mapping skills and develop their spatial reasoning abilities. Includes a glossary.
