Love! .....but
Review byPaige
So I love this set SO much! It's excellent to add to any type of curriculum that you are using at home. My only qualm is that I would love to have it be a standalone geography course. I would like it to have its own guide and use it in that format. This is obviously my "wish" as opposed to a negative with the books. These are excellent maps. I will say that I love that the worksheets are on their own individual paper so you can tear them out and use them and not worry about a map being on the other side for another lesson. It makes it nice for those lefties who need to be able to use their left hand to write. (Sounds silly but us moms with left-handed kids get this! lol)

Plan to use it more!
Review byShun
I have used this for our American History course as a companion and it has been such a good addition. I will be using it more often this year as we study geography and history. We have actually used it with most subjects, when they ask me where a certain place is, I just point them to the atlas and they feel good when they can point it out on the maps.

Excellent Supplement
Review byJennifer
This set is an excellent supplement to our history lessons over the years. It’s easy to use. We just open up the books to the page that corresponds with whatever geographical region we are learning about in our history lesson. It gives the children a great reference geographic locations.

A fantastic resource for learning historical maps around the world
Review byKathleen
Map Trek Atlas: This book includes a full-color historical atlas for the teacher along with outline maps for the student
Includes lesson plans broken down into 3 age groupings. 1-4 grade, 5-8 grade, and 9-12 grade.
Teacher's Answer maps are very clearly labeled with a lot of detail.
These historical maps help a student to see the land they are learning about in their history studies.
I highly recommend this book for every student.
Map Trek Outlines-Student Activities:
This book includes blank maps on perforated pages. Students can label and or color in the maps. We use this book in two ways. My son likes to be doing something with his hands when I am reading. He likes coloring in these maps while I read our history or literature books. We also use it for review. My son will fill in the map as much as he can without looking at the corresponding page in the Map Trek Atlas just to see how much he remembers. Then he will go back and fill in the rest. He loves to challenge himself to see how many places he could label on his own.

Great Atlas Set
Review byLacee
This is a great set for every homeschool family to have. The atlas is wonderful and gives you a great deal of information. The outline/worksheet book is a great addition alongside any history program you are working on. I wish that MB had a list of where each map could fit within their History curriculums - that would make it oh so easy to pair up. The outlines are versatile and can be used for multiple age groups - you just decide how much information each of your students can handle and assign that accordingly.

No stress resource
Review byLyn
The Map Trek Set has really been a fun and no stress way to incorporate geography work with our history book. My students have had a lot of fun seeing the actual map trail of Daniel Boone, the Revolutionary War, etc. I love having the Outline book to go with the Atlas. Watching the kids recreate the trails and maps has been a good hands on activity that has helped them retain what they are learning. *I received a free copy in exchange for my honest opinion.*

Great resource!
Review byDanielle
This geography set is one of those homeschool resources that will be used year after year regardless of what we are studying.
I can quickly look for maps from around the world based on the timeframe we are studying in history. I love having all the maps in one place so I can quickly find a map to go along with any lesson. We can pull out the blank maps from Map Trek Outlines to add geography to our day in a stress free way. This set is the perfect companion to any history or geography lesson. We also enjoy using the maps when a book we are reading mentions a location we are unfamiliar with. This a must have for homeschool families!

Map Trek: Set (Atlas & Outlines)
Review bySantina
I’m very impressed with the ease and flexibility of Map Trek: Set (Atlas & Outlines)! We just open and refer to whichever map corresponds to our America’s Story history lesson for the day. I love that we can include as much or as little as we’d like when we label the outlines so that everyone can be successful as we complete the same task in family style. I can see us continuing to use this set throughout the coming years as we move into world history. The maps are very clear, thorough, and well done.
