Countries of Shapes
Jack was a young boy who wished to travel around the world along with his parents (while hoping
the Covid19 pandemic ends in the future). He shared their planned destinations through a phone call to his
dear friends, Oliver and Ana. As Jack was explaining the countries they wish to visit, both Oliver and Ana
were finding a hard time locating them on a globe, as they were also interested to know the locations of
these countries.
Jack helped them by giving them descriptions such as “…the place is just below the country with a
shape of a rabbit” and “the next country is similar to the shape of a seahorse”. While Oliver was being
puzzled by the descriptions given by Jack, Ana was smiling thinking how funny the descriptions were. Oliver
wondered if there is another way for Jack to give him the exact location of the country, an easier way to
locate them on a globe.
1. What suggestion would you like to give them in order to locate the position of the country using the
globe?
2. Do you think there is a much specific way to locate the position other than describing their shapes?
