1. Local places

Build secure Key Stage 1 understanding of local places in Geography.

A common misconception is treating local places in Geography as a memorised label instead of a usable idea with evidence.

Validation: Generated starter-map content for MVP breadth. It is structurally complete but still requires subject-expert review before production claims.

Starter concept map Pending expert review Prerequisite: Core vocabulary for local places Extension: Extend toward maps and simple symbols once local places is transferable.

Stage progression

Repair foundation: First-stage foundation - Use concrete observation, talk and play evidence before formalising local places.

Later outcome: Key Stage 2 Geography - Stretch local places toward Key Stage 2 Geography once evidence is transferable.

Representative problem: Complete one short Geography task using local places and explain one step.

Mastery signal: Explains local places in their own words
