How the worksheets work

Each numbered map is numbered in reading order, from the top of the map down and west to east, and each word bank is in ABC order, so the answers cannot be copied down from the bank. A state too small to hold its number has it printed on the water beside it, with a line to the state. The capitals quiz prints all 50 capitals on each page, so no page can be finished by crossing capitals off. Every sheet ends with an answer key.

Classroom use ideas

  • Work through one region a week, then give the 50 states quiz.
  • Study with the 50 states and capitals list before the capitals quiz.
  • Use the continents and oceans sheet as a pretest on the first day of map skills.
  • Teach latitude first, then longitude, with the first two lettered points.
