All of the materials in the "Map Adventures" Teacher Packet are available in PDF format.

PDF format reproduces the look of the printed publication. To view and print the PDF version, you must obtain and install the Acrobat® Reader, available at no charge from Adobe Systems. Note that PDF files tend to be of relatively large size. Downloading such files from the Internet to your computer via modem may take up to several minutes. Additionally, the quality of illustrations in printed PDF documents will generally be lower than that of the original paper document.
