Students dig into US waterways, climate patterns, and state placement. Part A has nine fill-ins covering the Atlantic Ocean's east coast, New Mexico, the Midwest as America's breadbasket, Lake Michigan, the Everglades, and Mount Rainier as a Washington volcano. Part B is a four-pair matching set sorting Georgia, Colorado, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania into the Southeast, West, Midwest, and Northeast.
Pulling rivers, lakes, and states together teaches third graders to read the country as a connected map instead of memorizing pieces.
