Floor Maps

VGA has created several large scale floor maps for interactive lessons and to promote and facilitate geoliteracy.

The Virginia Floor Map

Map is 8’ x 16’ and will fit in most classrooms.  Image is aligned to the Atlas of Virginia.  Sample lesson plans and suggested resources for building a floor map kit, map labels as well as a new version of the Atlas are in the process of being developed to align with the 2015 Standards of Learning and Curriculum Frameworks.

Note: floor maps are designed for indoor use only, and students should wear clean, white socks when walking on the map.  Specific care instructions should be shipped with the map to avoid damaging the map.

The VGA John Smith Floor Map measures 122” x 96” and easily fits in most classrooms. John Smith and the early settlement of Virginia are included in the VA SOL for 1st Grade, VA Studies, USI, and VUS 11. VGA lessons for use with the map are forthcoming!
