Using this activity

  1. Read the population band legend on the map. Grey means no matched World Bank observation.
  2. Use the reference table to compare exact values and observation years. These are country totals, not density or city populations.
  3. Observation years may differ. Geographic and statistical territory coverage can differ between Natural Earth and World Bank.

What to practise

  • Read a choropleth map using a key.
  • Compare population totals while checking each observation year.
