Geography Standards
Kentucky Department of Education — Kentucky Academic Standards for 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: Creating geographic representations with cardinal and intermediate directions, scale, and symbols to organize information about familiar places, such as the classroom, town, or state.
- Grade 2: Using maps, globes, GPS, and other geographic tools to examine features of places across North America.
In the Classroom
- Play the United States map in JigsawGeo as a warm-up or center activity — Explorer level asks students to place each state by name, Navigator by capital.
- Print the resources below for a quick state-and-capital drill or a labeling quiz.
- JigsawGeo has no ads, accounts, or tracking, so it's safe to hand directly to students.
