Introduction: Geographical knowledge is a complex whole, and various geographical elements are interrelated and different from each other. In order to better display geographical knowledge, we should enrich the forms of maps in the process of making maps.

In the process of geography learning in senior high school, map learning is very important, and it is also an important part of learning geography well. Map is an important teaching tool in geography teaching, and it is also the embodiment of geography knowledge. Maps have fixed images and relatively intuitive knowledge points. Map teaching is an important teaching method in geography teaching in senior high school, which has an important educational position in geography education. In the process of geography learning, many knowledge points are reflected by maps.

The value of 1 map in geography teaching

1. 1 has distinct geographical characteristics: in geography teaching, we need not only to master written knowledge, but also to have a clear understanding of teaching materials, and to know and master maps in detail, because maps play an important role in geography teaching, showing students geographical knowledge intuitively and comprehensively, and there are many geographical elements, covering a lot of geographical knowledge, which are simple and clear, which can not be shown by written descriptions. At the same time, maps are more logical and systematic, which can improve students' learning of geography knowledge and conform to the educational concept of geography.

1.2 map shows basic knowledge of geography: the knowledge points transmitted by maps are basic knowledge in geography learning, so all geography learning needs to be mastered on this basis. Map is the source of geographical knowledge and a sign that geography is different from other disciplines. In geography learning, map is an educational means that combines various teaching elements. Map can be combined with text adjustment and image display, which can well promote students' enthusiasm for learning geography in geography education, make it easy to master the thinking of geography learning and better study geography.

2 The practical application of map education in geography classroom

2. 1 Mastering the basic knowledge of maps: Only by mastering the basic knowledge of maps skillfully can we teach maps well, which is also the basic premise of map teaching. In the actual teaching process, teachers not only require students to be clearly familiar with the basic knowledge of maps, such as the meanings embodied in the legends, labels and symbol colors of maps, but also need students to understand that different maps have different properties. For example, the maps hanging in the study include topographic map, administrative district map, climate classification map, temperature change map, China climate change map, population distribution map, traffic distribution map, etc. There are many different ways to use different maps. For example, the topographic map is specially used for topography or traffic, and the administrative distribution map is mainly for understanding the administrative regions of China, so that people can quickly find their own regions in their lives.

2.2 Grasp the timing of map teaching in geography education: In the process of map teaching, it is necessary to grasp the timing of teaching, because the time of classroom education in the process of geography learning is limited, so teachers need to grasp the actual teaching and carry out map teaching. Use map teaching as much as possible in teaching, so that students can intuitively feel geographical knowledge. In many cases, their intuitive feelings can promote their interest in learning geography and improve the quality of geography education. Teachers can choose map teaching according to the purpose of geography teaching and students' actual mastery of geography knowledge, so as to avoid unnecessary teaching methods in the process of map teaching. In the process of drawing a map, we must draw the structure and layout of the map clearly, and don't take up unnecessary teaching time to draw a map. For example, when we talk about the geological structure course, we will explain it according to the geological structure of a certain area and comprehensively introduce the complexity of the geological structure in this area. Then let's make a comparison in the distance and explain the natural disasters such as tsunami and mudslides caused by strong earthquakes. We will restore the disaster site for students in the form of multimedia, and explain it in detail by using the geographical location in the map. This can not only concentrate students' attention on learning geography, but also improve the teaching quality of geography education.

2.3 Rational use of the diversity of maps: the study of geographical knowledge can not be mastered overnight, and it needs long-term accumulation, and a lot of knowledge can be linked to better memory learning. Geographical knowledge is a complex whole, and various geographical elements are interrelated and different from each other. In order to better display geographical knowledge, we should enrich the forms of maps in the process of making maps. In the process of geography learning, all kinds of effective information will be better combined for learning. Make full use of the diversity of maps and improve geography knowledge education.

2.4 Combining maps with teaching materials for education: While conducting map teaching, it is also necessary to combine the knowledge points of teaching materials for education, which can not only improve students' mastery of geography knowledge, but also reduce the pressure on teachers in the process of geography education, which can well alleviate the boring teaching content in teaching and enrich students' methods of learning geography.

3 Conclusion

The study of geography knowledge is a very important content in high school education, and it is also an important part of students' exam-oriented education. There are many ways to educate geographical knowledge. Map education can improve the quality of geography education, enrich the methods of geography education and promote the all-round development of geography education in senior high schools in China. For senior high school education, upgrading education methods can promote the promotion of education, at the same time, it can also cultivate students' enthusiasm for learning geography and better develop China's education.
