Students complete nine problems about longitude, Florida's capital Tallahassee, and what a map legend does. The matching activity pairs Ohio, Colorado, New York, and Louisiana with their state capitals — Columbus, Denver, Albany, and Baton Rouge.
State capital matching across four different regions tests geographic breadth and reinforces the lesson that capitals and largest cities are not always the same place.
