The objective of this article is to propose a system of activities for 5th grade students of the Cuban elementary school to contribute to the development of their cartographic skills for the learning of local and historical facts and places as part of the subject of History of Cuba. The research was carried out based on the objective needs discovered in the sampled 5th grade students. The research followed a qualitative approach and several methods were combined. As an illustration, the dialectical-materialist approach was used as a general method and the documentary analysis, the participant observation and the mathematical method were used as well. Those methods allowed to verify that the potential offered by students at this age is not well exploited. In fact, this research is based on the current state of this potential. The consulted bibliography offered the necessary elements to design the activities for students to develop their cartographic skills for the learning of local and historical facts and places.
