Exploring Countries of the World Workbook
$15.95
Explore 40 countries around the world with this engaging geography and map skills workbook—Perfect for Grades 5 and up!
Available in PDF or paperback format.
Description
World geography is about much more than memorizing countries and capitals. Exploring Countries of the World takes students across six continents through maps, photographs, short readings, and meaningful activities that connect physical geography with culture, history, economics, and everyday life.
Rather than squeezing nearly 200 countries into one book, this workbook takes an in-depth look at 40 carefully selected countries from around the world. Students explore everything from Norway’s fjords and Nepal’s Sherpa people to Ghana’s cocoa farms and New Zealand’s flightless birds.
Along the way, students strengthen map-reading, reading comprehension, and critical-thinking skills. The one-country-a-week format makes it an easy, open-and-go, yearlong world geography curriculum.
