The following is a list of the Map Quizzes I use during the semester. In the past, I have given map quizzes weekly on Fridays as a bellringer and found it helpful to be created in Google Forms. Some textbooks include maps but I still rely on map quizzes and memorization as a part of the Human Geography units I teach. In addition, there are currently over twenty different smartphone apps and websites for studying maps. Encouraging students to engage with these maps helps to broaden their interests.

I have attached the ThinkSpatial maps created by BYU. These links are not the only places to get maps, there are other wonderful collections of PDF files to download.
