MapTrix is a self-instruction programme for learning to read a topographic map. It can be used by individuals doing home schooling or by up to 40 learners, making it suitable for classroom teaching too. The elements are organised like a deck of playing cards, giving MapTrix a game-like appeal. MapTrix is suitable for the Geography section of the Social Sciences Learning Area (Grades 7 – 9) and for FET Geography (Grades 10 – 12) – MapTrix Digital
Outcomes-Based Learning
The outcomes-based learner support material teaches 12 basic geography lessons while developing the skills required to read a topographic map (1:50 000) and broadening the learner’s knowledge of South Africa. Each MapTrix Kit is packaged in a big green box containing 52 work cards, 52 answer cards, 10 Learners’ Booklets, an Educator’s Guide (with Poster) as well as a 1:2 000 000 Wall Map of South Africa and a Topographic Map Sheet Index. A video is also available that explains the value of topographic maps and offers guidance in implementing MapTrix.
