Map Trek:
The Complete Collection CD
Atlas and Outline Maps of World History

Have you ever been teaching a history lesson when one of your children pipes up with a question. "Mom, is Carthage a city in Oregon or some other country?" Oh dear, you think to yourself and then calmly explain, "Honey, first of all, Oregon is a state, not a country. And Carthage no longer exists, but I think it was located on the northern tip of Africa across the Mediterranean Sea from Italy." After receiving two or more questions along this vein, you realize that you need some better resources.

 

Actually, you only need ONE!

 

Map Trek is an atlas plus historical outline maps that allow you to teach geography alongside history. This is a resource that any homeschool parent can use with brilliant success, even if you don't remember a thing from your history or geography classes in public school.

Grab your children by the hand.  It's time to explore our world throughout history.  Let's take a map trek!  This NEW, Hot-Off-The-Press CD-ROM contains all four Map Trek map sets - Ancient World, Medieval World, New World and Modern World - plus includes three additional bonuses, including complete world and continent maps, along with drawing grids to help your children really become familiar with the countries of our world.  Read on...

We have heard your comments throughout the years and have set out to provide THE most attractive and highly useful map book for home educators.  You have said that you want...

  1. Historical maps that will help you navigate through history studies. 
  2. Accurate maps that show what the world was like THEN and NOW. 
  3. Maps that are easily downloadable yet inexpensive to print. 
  4. Attractive maps that you and your children will be proud to display. 
  5. Lesson plans that will show you what to do with them each week. 

Map Trek meets all five of these demands and more.  Here's what the new Map Trek will provide you:

1. A full color teacher's answer map that will help you tremendously.  Here are a few samples below from the Modern World portion of the CD.  Go ahead and download this map that shows South Africa at the turn of the century.  Right click and choose "save image as" to save to your computer.

2. An unlabeled student map for your child to color in and label. Notice a few key features on this map. There is a slight color shading on the ocean/water areas to help your child determine which parts of the map are land and which are water. BUT the shading is minimal so as to not interfere with his creative coloring process OR to use much ink when printing from your printer. Feel free to save a copy of this sample map to your computer and print one out to see for yourself. Right click and "save image as" to save to your computer.

3. Lesson Plans to help you know what to assign to each of your children at their various stages of learning. There are lesson plans included for all 50+ outline maps and are broken down into 3 levels - Level A (grades 1-4), Level B (grades 5-8) and Level C (grades 9-12). 

Here is a Frequently Asked Question:

How is Map Trek different from your original Blackline Maps series?

Here is the answer:

Map Trek is basically the new and revised version of Blackline Maps. Here are some of the differences:

     1.  Map Trek has more maps - over 350 of them on the CD. Blackline Maps of World History has 200.
     2. There is more detail on the Map Trek maps, because they are intended for use up to 12th grade (Blackline Maps is for students 1-8).
     3. Map Trek has lesson plans for students in grades 1-12, with 3 levels of difficulty.
     4. Map Trek has full-color teacher answer maps; student maps are slightly shaded. Blackline Maps are black and white.


Here are two more maps for you to download to help you make your decision.

Love the improved blackline maps!!
Colleen from Nova Scotia, Canada
I just placed an order for the complete collection of MapTrek maps, and I can\'t wait to receive the CD! I first heard of Knowledge Quest from the Well Trained Mind book, and bought the complete collection of blackline maps five years ago for my two children. We\'ve gained historical geographical familiarity by using the blacklines in their grammar stage years, and I look forward to using MapTrek for the rest of their homeschooling years now. I\'m sooooo glad you came up with map activities for all 12 grades, because I was at a loss on what to do for historical geography after grammar stage. When I read the sample lesson plans, the later reinforcement activities made so much sense to me, as did the guidance for putting additional information on the maps.

I\'m the same Colleen you have quoted early on in your testimonials section from five years ago :). And I just posted a thread on the Well Trained Mind K-8 forum to talk about this new product. http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/sh
Thank you!!
