Louisiana
The only state governed by parishes instead of counties, shaped by French, Spanish, and Creole heritage.
Geography Standards
Louisiana Department of Education — K-12 Louisiana Student 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.
- Kindergarten: Using simple maps and models to describe the relative location of objects and places.
- Grade 1: Creating and using maps with cardinal directions, a key, and a scale, and identifying where Louisiana is located within the United States and on a globe.
- Grade 3: Describing the relative location of the United States and how its regions vary culturally and economically.
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.
