Which curricula does the Grade 5 History of Ukraine atlas fit?

The atlas follows the model curricula of the Civic and Historical education field. Its materials fit programmes by different author teams — «Introduction to the History of Ukraine and Civic Education» (Bakka, Zheliba, Meleshchenko, Shchupak and others), «Ukraine and the World» and «Exploring History and Society» (integrated Grade 5–6 courses). One edition works regardless of which model curriculum the school chose.

Does the atlas include outline maps?

Yes. This edition comes together with outline maps — the atlas is for reading, the outline maps for practical work: the student marks territories, regions and objects on the timeline and the map.

What do students study with the atlas in Grade 5?

Grade 5 is an introduction to history: how historical time is counted and a timeline is built, what a historical map is and its elements, how Ukraine looked on maps in different eras (Rus, the Kingdom of Rus, the Cossack state, the UNR), the historical-ethnographic regions, sources, museums and monuments, human and children's rights.

Can the atlas be used online?

The printed edition remains the primary tool for classroom and home study. Online versions of some IAT study atlases are available on the osvitanet.com.ua platform.

Grade 5 History of Ukraine Atlas (NUS): Intro to History

A fifth-grader meets history as a separate subject for the first time — and meets the historical map straight away. The Grade 5 History of Ukraine atlas «Introduction to History and Civic Education» is about exactly this: it teaches how to read the time and space of the past — to count centuries, build a timeline, recognise how Ukraine changed on the maps of different eras. Its main advantage is that one edition fits any Grade 5 model curriculum.

One book — for every curriculum

NUS has no single textbook: the school chooses one of the model curricula of the Civic and Historical education field. There are several, by different author teams — «Introduction to the History of Ukraine and Civic Education», «Ukraine and the World», «Exploring History and Society». Their topics overlap but are worded differently.

The atlas is compiled so that its materials match the topics of all these curricula. So you do not have to guess «the right» atlas for a specific textbook — this edition works regardless of the school's choice.

What is inside: contents

Historical time: units for counting time (era, millennium, century, year), the timeline, the periodisation of the history of Ukraine and of humankind.
The historical map: what it is and its elements, the study map, the atlas and the outline map, the rules for working with them.
Ukraine on maps through history: Rus, the Kingdom of Rus, the Cossack state (the Zaporozhian Host), the UNR — and today's Ukraine and its neighbours.
The historical-ethnographic regions of Ukraine.
Sources and memory: historical sources, museums and archives, monuments, prominent Ukrainian historians.
An overview of Ukrainian statehood: from the early peoples on the territory of Ukraine to an independent European state.

Atlas and outline maps

The edition comes together with outline maps, and they work as a pair: the atlas shows, and the student fills in the outline map. Marking a region, labelling an object, placing an event on the timeline — this is active work, and the material sticks better than from plain reading.

Who it is for

Grade 5 students — a first, age-appropriate introduction to the historical map.
Teachers — a map base aligned with several model curricula at once.
Parents — a clear aid for study at home.
