“…Once students grasp this idea, the map becomes a vastly more powerful tool for investigating other relationships in the world [89]. This use of analogy in learning, in turn, appears to have an influence on brain connections and, thus, on future perception [90][91][92][93].…”

How does a child learn to read a map? In 2007, the authors of an article in the Journal of Geography proposed a tentative list of eight “modes of spatial reasoning” that children may use to organize their perceptions of information on a map. As an update, this article has short descriptions of these modes, brief reviews of research since 2007, and some suggestions of topics for future investigation. This article includes a brief look at some implications for teaching math and reading, followed by an extended report about a classroom activity that underscores the main point about the parallel perception and processing of different kinds of spatial information. A technical appendix has a more detailed summary of the process used to identify and classify the modes of spatial reasoning.
