Inside a lesson
The map moves to each place the lesson talks about and turns on the layers it needs. Short steps explain one idea at a time.
Practice with explanations
Questions ask you to choose, order, match or click the map. After your first try you see the answer and why it is right.
Key terms and sources
Each unit lists its key terms with definitions, and each lesson shows the sources behind it.
Lesson check and review
A short lesson check ends each lesson. Afterwards, add the unit to your spaced review or test yourself in the world map quiz.
For teachers
