More about the book

Highly Commended in the GA Publishers' Awards 2021, this comprehensive resource is designed to complement Progress in Geography, featuring a familiar layout and extensive resources. It serves as both a standalone text and a valuable reference for non-specialists and trainee teachers. Aimed at helping students develop key geographical skills throughout KS3, the book introduces a variety of skills in Unit 1, which are then revisited and advanced in subsequent units, forming a cohesive learning journey towards becoming proficient geographers. These skills are integral to an enquiry process, establishing a strong foundation for GCSE-level geography and beyond. It includes diverse geographical data such as satellite images and numerous OS maps at various scales, often correlated with other data sources like ground and aerial photos. Each page features a specific learning objective and skills focus, covering areas such as conducting geographical enquiries, considering multiple perspectives, and making informed decisions. Students learn to draw field sketches, locate places using latitude and longitude, understand and create various graphs, analyze statistical data, and compare photographs with OS maps to identify landforms. The resource also encourages the use of newspapers and online GIS for investigating issues and data.
