Students sort out region labels, coastlines, and landform words. Part A fixes sentences that place New York in the Southwest, claim the West has no mountains at all, and put the Gulf of Mexico on the northern coast. Part B fills in the Missouri River, the Pacific Ocean, cold Northeast winters, and the word peninsula. Part C judges statements about the Missouri joining the Mississippi in the Midwest, islands in the West, and Florida's three-sided shoreline.
Tying directions, oceans, and landform names to real states builds the map sense third graders need before harder geography work.
