Get to Know BP Hands-On Maps

BP Hands-On Maps are geography workbooks that go with the lessons in Remember the Days and the Companion. Why do history students need geography workbooks? Because for BP students, geography and history go hand-in-hand. Map work shows students where history happened, and how geography can affect history.

BP offers two different Hands-On Maps for two different types of students. Click the titles below to learn more, or watch our video introduction.
