The world as you’ve never seen it before!

A fascinating way to explore data visually is by maps that display each country’s size BY DATA -
Worldmapper (http://www.worldmapper.org/)is a collection of world maps, where territories are re-sized on each map according to the subject of interest.
See the countries of the world mapped by income, by population per square mile, by age of death, by internet users, and much more.

The byline for this site is “the world as you’ve never seen it before.” It can be a wonderfully fresh look at the United States in relation to other countries, and a great way to lead your students to higher levels of thinking, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
