Hawaii
The only U.S. state made up entirely of islands, and the only one located outside North America.

Hawaii State Department of Education — Hawaii Core Standards in Social Studies publishes the official standards; JigsawGeo's map games and printable materials line up well with the geography skills below. See the official standards for exact current wording and numbering.
- Grade 1: Using map features such as a compass rose, legend, and scale to describe places, and naming the continents and oceans of the world.
- Grade 4: Identifying major geographic characteristics of the Hawaiian Islands, including their location and distance relative to other landmasses such as the continental U.S., Australia, and Asia.
