希腊和塞浦路斯小学教科书中主要的地图形式是具有测高色调的实体地图、单色背景的政治地图、低年级学生的大比例地图、高年级学生的小比例地图以及主题图层数量有限的地图。通过一系列测试调查了三年级至六年级小学生分析此类地图上的地图内容的能力。考虑的变量包括地图比例、背景的复杂性、专题图层的数量以及地形的表示。结果表明需要策略性地使用不同的地图形式，以帮助学生培养分析地图内容的能力。
Physical maps with hypsometric tints, political maps with a monochromatic background, large-scale maps for younger students, and small-scale maps for older students, as well as maps with a limited number of thematic layers, are the predominant map forms found in elementary school textbooks in both Greece and Cyprus. The ability of elementary school children between Grade 3 and Grade 6 to analyse map content on these types of maps is investigated in a series of tests. The variables considered are map scale, complexity of background, number of thematic layers, and representation of land-forms. Results indicate the need for strategic use of different map forms in order to help students to develop the ability to analyse map content.
