Geography: River Rush: The World's Liquid Highways Lesson & Bingo Game
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Need a creative and fun, interactive way to teach students about the world's greatest rivers, often dubbed our "liquid highways"?
Our waterways are not just pretty sights; they’re dynamic systems that play a massive role in our ecosystems and economies. Rivers support diverse habitats, serve as sources of drinking water, and provide recreational spaces for kayaking or fishing. When kids learn about rivers, they also dive into topics like geography, history, and environmental science — all while understanding how human activities can impact these essential resources. You can find them wherever you travel throughout the world. Let's get them excited about exploring the role rivers have played throughout history and how they shape our world today!

Geography & Social Studies Comprehension Game: Fact or Fiction?
By Geography & Math Made Easy
What a fun way to study people throughout history. My students LOVE playing this game. They couldn't wait to play it. It encourages students to use their critical thinking skills while enjoying the learning process. This is very versatile and can be used over and over.
Tired of the same old basil workbook handouts? Whether you are studying historical people or current events, this will increase student learning and improve comprehension.
This is a great way to get your students involved in their own learning, giving them autonomy, and it is an activity that can be used across the curriculum. Students will have a great time analyzing characters, acting them out, and gaining points for identifying fact or fiction. This is not only great for social studies and geography, but for any lesson in which people or characters are being studied.

Hidden Faces In Geography, A Study of Black Geographers, Black History Month
By Geography & Math Made Easy
A Celebration of Black Geographers & Their Accomplishments!
Geography seeks to study our planet and tell the stories of the people who inhabit it. But what stories are told? And who is chosen to tell them? Throughout history, often Black geographers were not given credit for their explorations and discoveries. This is a great lesson for geography for Black History Month.
1492: Among the crew on the Santa Maria during Christopher Columbus's voyage to the Americas is Pedro Alonzo Nino, a black man. Africans also accompany Ponce de Leon, Hernando Cortes, Francisco Pizarro, Hernando de Soto, and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado in the early 16th century and it is said they helped with the discoveries.
This lesson brings to light and gives credit to 14 Blacks who were geographical explorers throughout history. Students also have the option to choose to research a past or present geographer outside of those specific to this lesson, which gives them student autonomy and ownership of their learning..

Asia Geography, Celebrating the Change Roles of Women In Asia, Suffrage
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Students need to understand the evolving roles of women in Asia, as this knowledge provides a deeper insight into the region's history, culture, and society. By learning about the progress and challenges faced by women in countries such as** Japan, China, India, and South Korea,** students can better appreciate the complexities of gender dynamics in these** diverse societies**.
Furthermore, understanding the** changing roles of women** can help students develop empathy, critical thinking skills, and a more nuanced perspective on global issues like gender equality and human rights. Ultimately, this knowledge can empower students to advocate for positive change and promote greater inclusivity and equality in their own communities. So, the next time you open a textbook or watch a documentary about Asia, pay close attention to how women are portrayed. It’s not just about empowerment; it’s about understanding the intricate tapestry of humanity!
OBJECTIVE:
WHAT'S INCLUDE?
Articles:
MATERIALS NEEDED:
PREPARATION:
INTRODUCTION:
Find out what each group knows about women in Asia before you begin this lesson. Divide them into teams of four and present the topic. Give each team a stack of sticky notes. Ask them to brainstorm and list as many ideas or questions as they can come up within five minutes.
Here’s the kicker—(More with purchase)
WARM-UP (GROUP READING ACTIVITY)
The room has been set up into 10 centers: 2 centers for each country being studied. The goal is for each student to visit all five countries, but not to visit all ten centers since some are duplicates. The centers will be timed giving students 10 minutes to complete the reading and
2-minute assignment.
Explain to students that they will be visiting six different countries: Japan, North Korea, South Korea, China, Vietnam, and India to learn the roles of women (and men) in each country and how they have improved. (Note: North and South Korea have been combined into one learning center.)
They will be given 8 minutes to read their activity and 2 minutes to complete the center activity. Once eight minutes have passed, the instructor will notify the class by ringing a bell or using another sound. The remaining two minutes will be used to complete the 2-minute activity (see below).
THE 2-MINUTE ASSIGNMENTS:
(Included with purchase)
Once the warm-up reading center’s activity is complete, the instructor will pick up the bags and will dump them all into one bag and shake them up.
MATCH MAKER GAME:
Explain to students, matchmaking is a process of making a match of an unmarried man and woman by a matchmaker, which is a common way of choosing a spouse in ancient China and other Asian cultures. The traditional Chinese wedding is much involved with "matchmaker", or in other words, marriage introducer. In Zhou Dynasty several thousand years ago, the post of "official matchmaker" was set up for management of marriage, supervising and urging young people old enough to marry or widows and widowers to marry. Later, the meaning of "matchmaker" extended to all persons or events that act as a go-between of marriage between two families.
Today matchmaking is still seen as the proper way to marry by the older generation. You will find that parents will trade a person’s resume and will compare it to their child’s to determine if it is a good match. However, there has been given more freedom, from one generation to another, of individual choice to choose a partner.
Tell students they are going to play a game called “Matchmaker”.
(Game included with purchase)
ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY INCLUDED
Examine the Fu Xuan Woman Poem by Arthur Waley in how it relates to the role of women in Asia. Have students work in groups of two to read and examine the poem Fu Xuan Woman. Provide each student with a Question for Thought Activity Sheet (Included). Give students15 minutes to read and examine the poem, also attempting to answer the Questions for Thought.
CLOSURE / EVALUATION: (30 Minutes)
Provide each student with wrap-up activity sheet of a female from one of the countries studied. They are to write a letter to the female expressing his/her feelings and thoughts regarding the roles and status of women in that country, as well as celebrating how the roles and status of women within the country has improved. In addition, have each student express how he/she feels women’s roles will change in the future. Allow for follow-up discussion.

PREPARATION:
Set up the classroom desks or tables so that students are sitting in groups of three or four.
On the board, write the following in preparation for the game, providing lots of room below each category to place index cards.
5=Results in the most damage costs the most amount of funds for restoration.
1=Results in the least damage costs the least amount of funds for restoration.
INTRODUCTION:
Included with purchase.
INTRODUCTORY VIDEO: CHOOSE THE VIDEO YOU WISH YOUR STUDENTS TO VIEW TO INTRODUCE THEM TO NATURAL DISASTERS:
Video links are included with purchase.
PROCEDURE:
Students will begin by spinning the wheel on the Forces of Nature game. They will take turns spinning, yet the group will only spin 3-5 times to acquire 3-5 different natural disasters to research (Based on the teacher’s requirements). A list of natural disasters is provided below for which students can refer. Each group will receive 3-5 research cards (included below) which ask them to name the natural disaster they have chosen to (1) research, (2) provide the location, (3) describe the physical damage, (4) explain the cause and effect, and (5) give a total of the estimated cost of damage and restoration costs. Allow students 10-20 minutes to research and complete each card for each natural disaster they chose to research.
Students may need to use problem-solving skills to determine how they are going to get all 3-5 completed within the limited time frame, meaning they may have to divide them up between group members and then come back and share their information.
CLOSURE / EVALUATION:
On the top of the board list the categories below, leaving room for students to place their natural disaster cards underneath the numbering system.
(Included with purchase)
4=Results in the most physical damage cost the most amount of funds for restoration.
1=Results in the least physical damage costs the least amount of funds for restoration.
Provide students with a Forces of Nature Thinking Chart on which the audience can take notes while their classmates give presentations.
Using their cards, allow students, one team at a time, to present each of their natural disaster cards to the class. Direct them to place their card under one of the four categories of ratings on the board. Be sure to have tape available. Painter’s tape may be best.
Once the class has finished presentations and all cards are categorized on the board, allow the class to discuss what are the 10 Worst Natural Disasters from the presentations, from their lists on the board. This may require that cards be moved around from one category to another in order to determine the 10 Worst Natural Disasters. The discussion will be centered on physical damage & cost of restoration. If students wish to move a natural disaster to another category, they must support their decision with facts. At the end, you should have 10 natural disasters listed under Category 4. This will be what the class as a whole has decided is the most devastating natural disasters throughout history based on restoration costs.
