Grade 6: Geography: Term 4: Population Geography

Turn your geography classroom into a discovery zone. In this engaging unit, pupils investigate where people live and why. Through maps, atlases, graphs and hands-on activities such as jellybean population simulations, pupils explore population distribution and density in South Africa and around the world. Pupils compare provinces, investigate cities and analyse real data while developing geographical reasoning. Practical tasks, discussion prompts and simple investigations help pupils move beyond memorising facts to understanding the powerful factors that shape where people choose to live.
