This is a numerical skills and graphical skills task which guides students through creating a choropleth map, in this example using German population density data. Students complete their choropleth map and then answer a number of questions on it to analyse the patterns identified and to evaluate the use of this technique. 

Extension tasks are included which involve using German GNP data to create a second choropleth map to compare with their population density map. Teaching notes with answers are included within the resource.
