Map-use abilities are the basic abilities to boost spatial cognition, and solve practical problems in life. Based upon the cognition theories and literatures concerned, analyzing form four dimensions: ability of coordinate location, spatial orientation, measurement and symbolization, the study makes a survey on current map-use ability in the 5-6 grades students. The result reveals that the 5-6 grades student's abilities to use maps shows discrepancies in sex and grade; besides, there is still room for them to make progresses. Further, we propose a framework of map-learning curriculum and analyze the relevant parts in the curricular standard of primary school in Taiwan. Finally, suggestion are made to improve children's map-use abilities.
