Geography Pre-assessment/Post-assessment Beginning of Year (Easel Act. Included)
By Geography & Math Made Easy
This 80+ question assessment is a great way to evaluate what your students know going into the school year, what they have learned during the first semester as well as what knowledge and skills they have gained by the end of the school year.
Why waste precious time creating a thorough and effective test when it has already been done for you? Use this clean and well-put-together assessment over and over again throughout the school year to assess your students.
Comes with questions, a student answer sheet, and a teacher's key. Covers a wide variety of concepts such as map and graph reading, culture, government, economics, basic map reading skills, and religion. Took 8 hours to compile the test.
To save paper, make a class copy of the test and print out an answer sheet, one for each student. Have students write their name on the back of the last page of the test booklet just in case it is written in.
Please note: if you find this test is long for your group of students, please know that by modifying it (copying and pasting it to a new Word document the questions you wish for your students to answer), I do not consider this breach of copyright for any of my lessons. I expect that all teachers will modify, to a point, my resources to meet their students' needs and abilities. This assessment is "thorough" in order to give you an accurate understanding of what your students already know. It was created for the purpose of using itat the beginning of the year, mid-year, and end-of-year to measure what your students have learned.

NEW! Geography — Regions Simplified: Formal, Functional & Perceptual Regions
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Please Note: The instructor/teacher will need to know and understand the concept of REGIONS as this is a concept difficult for young brains to grasp. Even though we simplify it for students, we will need to be ready to verbally or visually explain the concept. Not all students are ready for this high-level concept. This lesson simplifies it as much as possible, but the concept, no matter how simplified, still requires high-level thinking skills and teacher guidance. It takes practice to identify the formal, functional, and perceptual regions. If the instructor/teacher doesn't understand regions, it will be difficult to instruct. This lesson is much better than our textbooks provide. Must be modified to fit your needs, this may mean omitting some of the activ_ities included in_ this lesson.
This is a group reading activity with a graphic organizer comprehension activity, an at-home interview assignment (Optional), and a Powerpoint for assessment.
Updated to Include a:
-Page Long Version of the Reading Activity
-Page Shorter Version of the Reading Activity
_________________________________________________________________
Help our students understand the complicated concept of "regions."
I often found when I was teaching the 5 Geographical Themes, students grasp location, place, human-environment interaction & movement (ideas, people, goods), but they struggle with regions: formal, functional, and perceptual.
What is the difference between a formal, functional, and perceptual region?
What is a nodal point? How can there be regions that cannot be measured and are specifically based on feelings and perceptions? Can all regions be found on a map? Do they always have a clearly defined boundary?
This PowerPoint provides 7 scenarios in which students are required to decipher whether it is a formal, functional, or perceptual region. You can use it as an introduction or review. You may implement this in different ways.
INCLUDES:
o Detailed Teacher Instructions
o Intro Video Suggestion
o Intro Reading Activity
o Graphic Organizer Activity + Answer Sheet (Puzzle)
o Powerpoint Game
o Extension Activity
OBJECTIVES:
o The Learner will understand the concept “region.”
o The Learner will determine the difference between a formal, functional, and
perceptual region.
o The Learner will be able to identify a formal, functional, and perceptual region.
MATERIALS:
o Technology to have students watch the suggested intro video.
o Student Group Reading Assignment (Included)
o Technology to display material for the class to view & discuss
o Paper & timer to create a list needed for the reading activity (Action 1: Listing Game)
o Atlases for each group needed for the reading activity
o “Can You Identify the Type of Region?” PowerPoint Review Game (Included) & technology to show it

Bloom's Taxonomy Stems & Guiding Questions for Social Studies and Geography
By Geography & Math Made Easy
As teachers, we always need additional resources to help make planning easier. Through the years, I have compiled this list of Bloom's Taxonomy action verbs, stems, and sample questions to assist in planning for Geography and Social Studies lessons. There are a series of questions and stems for knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. It is always nice to have this handy to refer to while planning.
Using Bloom's Taxonomy allows you to ascertain if your students have a basic understanding, yet allows you to raise the bar in developing guiding questions via cognitive, psychomotor & affective domains.
INCLUDES
This is a great resource for beginning teachers as they develop their student's high-level thinking skills.

CHINA GEOGRAPHY: ONE CHILD, TWO CHILD, THREE CHILD OR MORE, POPULATION POLICIES
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Your students will love this lesson, from 6th grade to 12th grade. The PowerPoint is included in the Zip File.
In 1980, China enforced the One-Child Policy Act to due to overpopulation issues as a result of Mao Zedong's policies, as he competed with Russia for power. Once he dies in 1979, China had to look at the population issues as there was a shortage of housing and resources— and they were continuing to multiply. Something had to be done, so the government enforce Martial Law and only allowed families to have one child.
(To examine in depth the One-Child Policy Act of 1979 under Mao Zedong's leadership, click here.)
However, now the One-Child Policy has created a downward shift in population, and as the older generation dies, the population is declining at significant rates. In 2016, to encourage population growth, China's government put in to play the Two-Child Policy pleading with its citizens, "Please have a second child". When that wasn't working, in 2021, they pass a Three-Child Policy.
This lesson examines and compares China's Child Policy Acts throughout the years and their effectiveness, also giving students the opportunity to provide their opinion of various scenarios.
OBJECTIVES:
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
GROUP READING ACTIVITY: (15-20 MINUTES)
Divide students into groups/teams of three. Give each team member an article to read:
DEBATING CHINA’S CHILD POLICIES CLASS ACTIVITY (POWERPOINT)
