Abstract
The objective of this article is to discuss a methodology for the production of maps developed for children at junior school (7 to 10 years), from the research we have been undertaking since 1997 at the Laboratory of Research for the Teaching of Geography and Cartography for the production of maps and local atlases. Firstly, we are going to present the foundation and the process involved to produce these materials. Following that, we will discuss some findings that resulted from these experiments in terms of the adequacy of these cartographical materials for school use and finally, we will present our conclusions about the production of the key for pictorial maps designed for schools.
