New York
From Niagara Falls to Times Square, one state with two very different sides.
Geography Standards
New York State Education Department — Social Studies Standards 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.
- Elementary: Locating places within the local community, state, and nation using basic geographic skills.
- Intermediate: Mapping information about people, places, and environments, and presenting geographic data in maps, tables, and charts.
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.
