Teaching a unit on measurement to my 9th graders. I asked them to draw the world three times: once by area, once by population, and once by wealth. The shapes of the continents were not required to be correct, but the area of each continent had to be proportional to the percent each continent accounts for in terms of population, wealth, etc. Hoping it was an instructive activity in more than one way.
At right: the world by population & the world by wealth--click image to view larger image
