Publisher's Description of 180 Days of Geography for Fifth Grade
Help fifth grade students improve their geography skills with fun and effective daily practice activities.
180 Days of Geography:
Focuses on a new topic each week covering map skills, applying information and data, and connecting what was learned
Builds student's confidence in geography with quick independent learning activities focusing on location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, and regions
Makes at-home learning, whole class instruction, or small group support, quick and easy
Includes standards-based activities, easy to follow instructions, and an answer key to quickly assess student understanding
A multi-faceted collection of daily, black and white worksheets designed to meet state and national geography standards. The focus is not only on map skills but also the study of cultures (how people interact with the physical world) as well as making applications to one's own geographical circumstances. Covering five themes in geography: location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, and region; these worksheets utilize a weekly pattern. Days 1 and 2 are map skills (reading and creating maps), Days 3 & 4 are spent reading and thinking about those specifics and Day 5 covers "geography and me." From a secular perspective, the series may reference topics or theories based on current theories and belief systems. Answer keys provide for objective questions (usually days 1, 2 & 3) and rubrics for evaluating the written responses. Item analysis sheets are also included, helping the teacher identify particular skills with which the student may be struggling. Worksheets are reproducible (for home or classroom) and the rubrics and analysis sheets are part of the included digital resources. In fact, you can input data into electronic files and print them. 216 pgs, pb ~ Janice
