~ Are you located in New England? Yes
~ Do you border the Atlantic Ocean? Yes
~ Does your state have islands? Yes

Can you figure out what state they are located in? We did!!
Once we guessed the state correctly our questioning continued to see if we could now guess the town/city they lived. Using Google maps we asked questions about highways, mileage from the capital, borders, counties and bays. And we got it!
Working together the students demonstrated great navigation skills. Next time you're using your GPS to travel to a new location have your child help navigate, you'll be impressed with their map reading skills.
