We wanted to compare the size of Australia and Quebec in class. It wasn’t an option on the other site I blogged about in Compare Two Countries. I found MapFight which offers quite a number of places to be compared. Once my class could see Quebec fitted into South Australia and then stretched into the Northern Territory they understood how big an area Quebec covers . These students know how big Australia is so to find something equally massive was impressive.

This infographic has done the rounds like a few others, but you may not have seen it. It is really fascinating how many countries can fit into the land mass of Africa and then which countries. You can zoom in on the infographic and when you do , you will see the land mass sizes of all our countries. That is a very handy list for the classroom! Students like information and they like to be able to compare with their own country.
