China Cartograph -- Area
You will be making a cartograph to use to
draw conclusions when comparing the land area of the United States
with the land area of China. Follow these steps to make the cartograph:
 1. Centered at the
top of the paper that is given to you, print the word "CHINA"
in capital letters that are approximately 2" high.
2. Centered at the bottom of
the paper that is given to you, print the words and numbers "AREA
= 3,705,407 SQ. MILES" in letters and numbers that are approximately
2" high.
3. Between the two rows of lettering,
covering most of the available space, draw an outline of the
land area of China.
4. Using the equivalent of one
dot = 100,000 sq. miles, determine how many dots are needed to
represent the land area of China of 3,705,407 sq. miles.
5. Beginning in the center of
the outline of the land area of China, closely place the dots
in a square to represent the land area of China.
6. In the lower right hand corner
of the paper, draw a compass rose.
7. In the lower left hand corner
of the paper, print the label "One dot = 100,000 SQ. MILES."
China Cartograph -- Population
You will be making a cartograph to use to
draw conclusions when comparing the population of the United
States with the population of China. Follow these steps to make
the cartograph:
1. Centered at the
top of the paper that is given to you, print the word "CHINA"
in capital letters that are approximately 2" high.
2. Centered at the bottom of
the paper that is given to you, print the words and numbers "POPULATION
= 1,218,800,000" in letters and number that are approximately
2" high.
3. Between the two rows of lettering,
covering most of the available space, draw an outline of the
land area of China.
4. Using the equivalent of one
dot = 10 million people, determine how many dots are needed to
represent the population of China of 1,218,800,000 people.
5. Beginning in the center of
the outline of the land area of China, closely place the dots
in a square to represent the population of China.
6. In the lower right hand corner
of the paper, draw a compass rose.
7. In the lower left hand corner
of the paper, print the label "One dot = 10 million people."
United States Cartograph -- Area
You will be making a cartograph to use to
draw conclusions when comparing the land area of the United States
with the land area of China. Follow these steps to make the cartograph:
1. Centered at the
top of the paper that is given to you, print the words "UNITED
STATES" in capital letters that are approximately 2"
high.
2. Centered at the bottom of
the paper that is given to you, print the words and numbers "AREA
= 3,618,770 SQ. MILES" in letters and numbers that are approximately
2" high.
3. Between the two rows of lettering,
covering most of the available space, draw an outline of the
land area of the United States including Alaska and Hawai'i.
4. Using the equivalent of one
dot = 100,000 sq. miles, determine how many dots are needed to
represent the land area of United States of 3,618,770 sq. miles.
5. Beginning in the center of
the outline of the land area of the United States, closely place
the dots in a square to represent the land area of the United
States.
6. In the lower right hand corner
of the paper, draw a compass rose.
7. In the lower left hand corner
of the paper, print the label "One dot = 100,000 SQ. MILES."

= 260,341,000" in letters and number that are approximately
2" high.
3. Between the two rows of lettering,
covering most of the available space, draw an outline of the
land area of the United States including Alaska and Hawai'i.
4. Using the equivalent of one
dot = 10 million people, determine how many dots are needed to
represent the population of the United States of 260,341,000
people.
5. Beginning in the center of
the outline of the land area of the United States, closely place
the dots in a square to represent the population of the United
States.
6. In the lower right hand corner
of the paper, draw a compass rose.
