Map is a tool which is frequently used in social science textbooks for a variety of descriptions. At school
level the basic components of map are taught in geography which is one of the disciplines of social sciences introduced at upper primary stage with an aim to develop basic skills of map reading. Present study is based on
field observation which aimed to highlight lack of interest and understanding of basic map elements among learners
at upper primary stage. The study analyse that the geographic knowledge of students leaves much room for improvement. In spite of the geography curriculum stressing on imparting the spatial thinking skills, many of our children are
not able to read maps, identify places or important physical features. They fail at interpreting information at geographical scales.
