The use of maps in the EVS curriculum should be restricted only to the geography subject of upper primary and secondary classes, because primary level children are completely incapable of understanding abstract signs and scale-based calculations. 3. Encouraging children at the primary level to draw a sketch of the route from their home to school is a highly effective teaching strategy to strengthen their spatial understanding and observation skills.
