Trek is a comprehensive series on social studies for Classes 1 to 5. Using a multi-disciplinary approach, it provides a solid foundation to primary students for later learning in the middle school. This revised edition of the highly successful series is based on user feedback. Innovatively designed, each book of the series makes the teaching-learning of social studies an enjoyable experience. In Books 1 and 2 the students are introduced to the concept of social studies, which equips them with a sound knowledge of their immediate surroundings and the world around them. Books 3 to 5 provide a balanced integration of the key elements of geography, history and civics. The geography section explains fundamental concepts and develops mapping and spatial skills. The history section provides a balanced historical perspective by combining both chronological and biographical approaches. The civics section familiarizes the students with the different social and political institutions that exist in our country, and helps them to become responsible citizens. The series also includes topics that make the students aware of their rich cultural heritage and encourages them to take pride in it.
