The Mitel Reading™ team launched a special project called "Island Large Area", which allows you to understand the world from a new perspective through the comparison and interaction of equal-proportion cards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tncfn7mijb0 In the past, we often heard people say: "Taiwan is just a small island." After saying this, we thought of ourselves as "small"; but in fact, Taiwan is not small, and the "big" country we often think of is not either. It's really that big. When we watch international news, our judgment is often affected by the "imagined size", which inevitably devalues ourselves and magnifies others. Therefore, Mitel has created a new educational product - "Let's Map!" The comparison and interaction of proportion cards can break our myths about the size of countries and understand the world from a new perspective. **The earth is round, but the map is flat. The size of a country is not judged by sight! ?** Most maps use different projection methods to convert a 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 clear directions, is currently the most common one. The Mercator projection produces the most accurate area outline near the equator, but the higher the latitude, the easier it is to produce errors or distortions. If you have the opportunity to carefully compare the globe and the flat map, you will find that the area of Greenland is actually not that large. Canada The actual area is similar to that of the United States, Russia's land area is less than twice that of China, and Taiwan is not as small as we imagined! During the process of collecting international information, the Observation Calendar team discovered that we have been influenced by flat maps for a long time and have an incorrect impression of the country's outline. Therefore, we launched a special project "Small Island Large Area" and invited Wizard Geography to serve as a consultant. The azimuthal projection method obtains relatively real areas and outlines 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 "Small Island Large Area" uses the azimuthal projection method to depict the outlines of 56 countries. Taking advantage of the characteristic that the closer to the center of the circle, the more accurate the outline area is, it will take everyone to understand each country from a different perspective! **📍Object content:** National card: three specifications: large x4, medium x9, small x40, a total of 53+3 cards. (Taiwan has three more pictures) National drawings: two specifications, 6 sheets in total. Guessing mattes: three specifications, 3 in total. Flag stickers: national flags, 2 sheets, 56 countries in total. Illustration Stickers: Featured illustration stickers, 1 sheet. World map: Peters projection, Molway projection, one A3 each. **📍You can play like this:** **#Country area comparison** The host selects a country from the 2023 International Observation Calendar, and asks participants to select or add up the cards in their hands. The country with the closest land area figure to the designated country will score. **#CountryOutlinePinYipin** Choose a country card/drawing as the base, and participants use the cards in their hands to piece together the combination. Try to see whoever inserts the most country drawings without overlapping outlines will score. **#FlagCapitalGuess** The host covers the country card with a mask and asks the participants to guess through the outline: is it the name of the country, the flag, or the capital? It can also be combined with the International Observation Calendar and exclusive webpage to learn more about the country! ＊Product specifications｜ Product Name: Small Island Large Area Item number: 81314-2023-002-8 National card Specifications | 41 small cards (W74 x H105 mm) 8 middle 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 Guess the cards Specifications | 1 small card (W74 x H105 mm after folded in half) 1 middle card (W105 x H148 mm after folding in half) 1 big card (W128 x H210 mm after folding in half) Material｜PET flag sticker Specifications｜ 56 KMT 2 sheets (W210 x H128 mm) Material｜Weak adhesive tape 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 Total product weight including box｜Approximately 520 g (±5g) **[MITI Read™-International News Channel on your mobile phone]** Every international event is closely related to our lives.
