A brace map shows whole and part relationships. Students write a physical object on the left, its major parts beside the large brace, and the smaller parts of each one beside the small braces.
It suits science (the parts of a plant, a cell, or the human body), social studies (the branches of government), and reading (the parts of a book). Choose 3 or 4 parts; the filled-in example breaks down a bicycle.
