Geography & Maps

GLOSSING OVER GEOGRAPHY
glossary...$12.00
This glossary contains hundreds of geographical terms, ranging from the simple to the more difficult. Each term is defined and then explained in a sentence that uses the word. Black pen and ink drawings help to further explain that the height of mountains is measured in elevation.

GEE, IT’S GEOGRAPHY
set of 5 reproducible units ...$40.00
These materials cannot be completed unless you provide the students with Glossing Over Geography. It is in the glossary that the students will find the answers to all the assignments in Gee It’s Geography. With each unit in Gee It’s Geography your students will be looking up definitions in the glossary, comparing geographical facts, making drawings using the glossary and even figuring out time zones east and west of the Prime Meridian. Naturally this is after they learn what the Prime Meridian is. Complete geography curriculum at a 4.0 reading level. Includes lots of tests and review.

A HOP, SKIP AND A JUMP AROUND THE CONTINENTS
reproducibles ...$20.00
All the people, places and things found on each of the seven continents have been condensed onto fact sheets with a fact given about each person, place or thing. Following the facts, the kids must then use a reference book to locate more facts. Once the fact sheets are completed there are tests to determine whether or not your students have learned whether the Amazon River flows through Africa, South America or Asia. By grouping the continents, hopefully the students will get it that Taj Mahal was not a famous explorer of Africa and that the Himalayans are not a rock group. Some simple map work is included.

  MAPPING OUT MAPS
 reproducibles ...$10.00
The assignments in Mapping Out Maps begin with simple assignments that have to dowith who went north, south, east, and west, and what they passed on the way. As they are figuring out these things, they are introduced to such terms as legend, scale of miles, boundary lines, and all the other terms they don’t understand, but that are used on maps. As they move along, they put sections of the United States together and by the time they’re done, they’ve assembled a nation.

                                                                                                                                 

50 TO GO

reproducibles ...$50.00
And where are they going?  Through each state.  We are almost willing to promise that your students should come through this unit with a good idea as to the location of each state, the significant terrain within each state, the important industries within the sates, and the outstanding geographical features of each of the 50 states.  With this unit your students will have some simplified reading materials, map activities, and tests that build upon the knowledge they've acquired from preceding assignments. As much practice as they'll get putting in capitals, drawing rivers, mountain ranges, and other types of terrain, we're willing to say that one or two of them might actually be able to tell you exactly what it would be like to cross the United States from one end to another.  Michael Rossi in New York said, "whoever wrote this knew what kids have to learn about US geography, and how much repetition it takes to teach them.  Thanks."

 

 

AROUND THE WORLD IN HOWEVER MANY DAYS IT TAKES
reproducible text, worksheets and
tests ...$27.00
Around the World... is your basic world geography text that covers each of the seven continents in a "global" way. In other words, the text doesn’t take South America and give all its rivers, mountains, capitals, and locations of the coffee growers. It does, however, lean more to an overview and points out such interesting facts that Antarctica is climatically a desert and why Peruvian mountain people are short. It also covers such difficult concepts as plate tectonics and continental drift in an easy-to-read manner.

 

WORLD GEOGRAPHY:  Daily Skill Builders
reproducibles...$12.00 
Study location and place, human-environment interaction, different types of maps and map reading, as well as the regions and countries of the world.

 

JUMPSTARTERS FOR GEOGRAPHY
reproducibles...$7.00
Daily activities cover US maps, state capitals, landmarks, nicknames, slogans, plants and animals, products, history and physical features.  Five to a page and reproducible, the exercises are perfect for warming up the class early in the day or turning spare time at the end of the day into a lesson.
