Texas Tabletop Map

National Geographic has a new FREE resource for educators: free tabletop-sized state maps.

The maps were designed to reflect spatial thinking research at the elementary level. All maps are the appropriate size and visually represent the appropriate amount of information for K-5 students. However, they can be used by any grade level.
