Joy in the Classroom found in Azimuthal Projections

This is what one of my first graders wanted to talk about last week!

How many of you have heard about Azimuthal Projections? Although I had no idea what this was, I loved hearing him explain it to us. When I googled it, there were words I didn’t even understand:) but he was able to explain it better than any document I could find! What a joy to listen to a FIRST grader teach me about this.
