Teaching Resources
Teachers, homeschoolers, and parents have used JigsawGeo for years to make continents, capitals, and flags stick. Every map in the app has a free printable pack below — no login, no account, no catch.
What's in Every Printable Pack
Each PDF bundles a full set of activities for one map, spanning grades K-8, so you can pull exactly the page a lesson needs instead of hunting for a whole new resource: locate-and-label pages for younger grades, latitude/longitude and heat-map activities for upper elementary and middle school, and word puzzles for a quieter independent-work day. Print only the pages you need, or hand out the whole packet as a unit.
-
Latitude/longitude maps (6-8) — a common specific reading-coordinates objective
-
Grid maps (K-5) — find a place by its grid square
-
Blank maps (all grades) — label it or color it in
-
Heat maps (3-8) — shade a choropleth from real data
-
Flashcards (K-6) — cut-out cards for quick drills
-
Word puzzles (3-8) — crosswords, scrambles, and more
Every pack also includes an answer key or labeled version of its map, so these work equally well as a self-check for independent work or a quick sub-day activity.
United States
Individual Countries
Continents & Regions
Oceans & Seas
Naming and locating the oceans is part of most early-elementary geography standards, and the major seas come up again in later units on trade, exploration, and world regions — these packs work well alongside the continent maps above.
Flat Map Projections
Compare and Contrast the traditional Mercator projection (which exaggerates the size of regions near the poles) with the Equal Earth projection recently adopted by the United Nations.
