Mindy Selected Reading Isle Large Area

We have long been influenced by flat maps and have incorrect impressions of country outlines. The Mindy Reading™ team launched the special project "Small Island Large Area", through the comparison and interaction of isometric cards, to understand the world from a new perspective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tncfn7mijb0 In the past, we often heard people say, "Taiwan is just a small island." As we talked, we thought of ourselves as "small". But in fact, Taiwan is not small, and the "big" country we often think of is not really a big country. that big. When we watch international news, we are often judged by the "imagined size", which inevitably belittles ourselves and magnifies others; therefore, Mitel has created a new educational product - "Let's Map with a large area of the island!" The comparison and interaction of cards helps to crack our myths about the size of countries and understand the world from a new perspective. **The earth is round, but the map is flat, and the size of the country is not what you see! ?** Most of the maps use different projection methods to transform the 3D three-dimensional arc surface into a 2D plane. Among them, the Mercator projection method, which was born in response to the age of navigation and pursues a clear orientation, is currently the most common one in the market. The Mercator projection method projects the most accurate area outline near the equator, but the higher the latitude, the more prone to errors or distortions; if you have the opportunity to carefully compare the globe with the flat map, you will find that the area of Greenland is actually not that large, Canada and The actual size of the United States is similar, Russia's land area is not twice that of China, and Taiwan is not as small as we imagined! During the process of collecting international information, the observation history team discovered that we have been influenced by flat maps for a long time and have an incorrect impression of the outline of the country. Therefore, we launched a special project of "small island and large area" and invited wizard geography as a consultant. The projection method obtains the relatively real area and outline of 56 countries, designs games and operating situations, and then observes, experiences, explores and understands the world from different angles. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52767600119_5bc74aca66_b.jpg "Large area of a small island" depicts the contours of 56 countries by azimuth projection method. Taking advantage of the characteristic that the closer to the center of the circle, the more accurate the contour area is, it will take you to know each country from a different angle! **📍Object content:** National cards: three specifications: large x4, medium x9, small x40, a total of 53+3 cards.

It can also be combined with the international observation calendar and exclusive webpage to learn more about country information! ＊Product Specifications｜ Name: small island large area Item No.: 81314-2023-002-8 national card Specifications｜ 41 small cards (W74 x H105 mm) 8 medium cards (W105 x H148 mm) 4 big cards (W128 x H210 mm) Material｜PET national drawings Specifications｜ 5 drawings (W297 x H210 mm) 1 drawing (W420 x H256 mm) Material｜Japanese coated paper Guessing Specifications｜ 1 small card (folded in half W74 x H105 mm) 1 medium card (W105 x H148 mm after folding) 1 big card (W128 x H210 mm after folding) Material｜PET flag stickers Specifications｜ 2 sheets of 56 countries (W210 x H128 mm) Material｜Weak adhesive paper map coloring paper Specifications｜ 2 sheets (W420 x H297 mm) Paper｜Domestic beige comic paper game manual Specifications｜1 sheet (W210 x H390 mm) Paper｜Japanese Coated Paper storage box Specifications｜Heaven and earth box (W145 X L223 X 20 mm) Paper | Thick cardboard mounting paper The total weight of the product including the box｜about 520 g (±5g) **【Mind Selected Reading™－International News Channel in your mobile phone】** Every event in the world is closely related to our lives.
