1. UK and world locations

Build secure Key Stage 2 understanding of uk and world locations in Geography.

A common misconception is treating uk and world locations 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 uk and world locations Extension: Extend toward map skills and grid references once uk and world locations is transferable.

Stage progression

Repair foundation: Key Stage 1 Geography - Repair foundations in Key Stage 1 Geography if uk and world locations is blocked by earlier knowledge.

Later outcome: Key Stage 3 Geography - Stretch uk and world locations toward Key Stage 3 Geography once evidence is transferable.

Representative problem: Complete one short Geography task using uk and world locations and explain one step.

Mastery signal: Explains uk and world locations in their own words
