Social Studies-Map Skills

I found that Oceans and Continents  for basic maps skills was easy because I understood it right when I opened up the tab. To me it was easy because I learned most of the oceans and continents in 2nd grade and what we were learning was just a refresh. What I struggled most with in the basic map skills was the coordinates. I found it way more difficult because I have never used coordinates on maps before, only in math from last year, and in math last year I was really bad at coordinate anyways. So it was very tricky for me. What made it more difficult for me was that I have never used it before and I would likely never use it ever again and it also I was very bad at multiplying and adding.

Basic map skills are necessary because they can help us understand the world, locations, and how to use a map better. They can help me understand geography more because I have never really learned any of these ways except Oceans and Continents.
