Mercantilism/Triangular Trade Game
By TxMAP Teacher
This product is intended to demonstrate how Triangular Trade worked in the the 17th and 18th centuries.
Materials Included:
- Country Profile Sheets
- Colony Profile Sheets
- Raw Material Cards
- Instruction sheet
Teaching Strategy:
- Note: Students should have been introduced to information on Triangular Trade and Mercantilism preceding this activity.
- Divide the class into teams of 6
- Give each group a Country Profile Sheet - have students read the information for their country
- Students will then be given their colony - this can be done randomly or strategically. - It is often more impactful to the lesson to have groups actually go out and “explore’ their colony. I have given students numbers and then put colonies around the room with only numbers attached to them.
- The colony envelope should include the colony profile and the appropriate amount of raw material cards.
- When all groups have their colonies and have read all things about their country and colony then they should form a strategy for trading to get their necessary resources.
- Groups will then start trading with other groups to get the resources they need.
- Leave time to debrief and possibly play again.
- Adjust rules as you see the need.

NEW! Geography — Regions Simplified: Functional Formal Perceptual (PowerPoint)
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.
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.
