What this lesson teaches
Neighborhoods have homes, schools, stores, and parks. Maps with symbols and a key help us find and describe these places.

On a neighborhood map, a small tree symbol might mark the park and a square might mark the school — the key explains each symbol.
Practice questions
- What places are in your neighborhood?
- What is a map key for?
