Turn geography into a Canadian adventure! You're at the wheel of a transport truck picking up and delivering cargo around the country. Watch out for speed traps and highway hazards!
As you travel between 79 Canadian cities and towns, you'll learn about provinces, territories, cities, commodities, and more. Challenge yourself with this fun way to learn about Canada!
Crosscountry Canada 2 is used in geography classrooms around the country. Designed for students in grades 4 to 9, the program is a powerful learning tool. But it's engaging enough to keep players of all ages interested.
Crosscountry Canada 2 helps players develop valuable skills such as map reading, problem solving, geographic literacy, and decision making. Players also hone their estimating, "survival" math, and direction skills.
Vivid 3-D graphics as well as photos of cities, famous places, and landmarks add a visual dimension to the journey. Players can stop at points of interest along their route and collect "postcards."
On-screen maps and a compass allow players to learn directions and plan the most efficient route. Players learn time management, decide when to eat and sleep, and deal with changing road conditions.
Descriptions and pictures of 50 commodities teach players about some of the foundations of the Canadian economy. Players learn about the relationships between places, goods, and regions. In addition, they develop an understanding of their place in the context of this information.
Turn the open road into a highway of learning!
