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

Geography Game: Around The World (Countries and Continents)
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Fun and exciting for all Ages - Middle School through High School
What a great way to review the geographical location of countries you study throughout the year! Students absolutely love countiries and continents Around the World game so much that they are disappointed that class is over. This world geography game has been played with my students throughout the year, usually at the later part of the year or end of the year, to reinforce students' recall of countries' geographical locations. As the intructor, I couldn't wait to play it with my students because I knew how much fun learning was going to be!
It is important for students to have a basic geographical understanding of the world around them. This game requires students to challenge each other by identifying the continents of each country presented.
Example: On which continent does Malaysia lie? On which continent does Madagascar lie? The student that is able to recall the location, moves on to travel "Around the World". This game moves quickly so that students are constantly involved and eager to participate, cheering one another on.
My students were required to learn where each country was located through study and map quizzes. It is important that students be able to identify the geographical location of each country so when they read/watch about current events, they have a geographical understanding of where the event is occurring in the world. Yes, they can always look it up, but are they going to?
Once you prepare the cards you can use them year after year.

OBJECTIVE:
MATERIALS:
INCLUDES:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
World religions can be a sensitive topic. When presenting the religions and discussing them do not show any bias’ toward one religion. Remain neutral so as not to lean to accept one religion over the other. This is a factual lesson that helps students understand culture throughout the world as many cultural practices are relative to a specific religion within the region. You may have some parents who prefer their child to not be taught this within the classroom setting. If your district has a policy where parents can request their child not attend class during a sensitive topic, then send out a letter to all parents communicating that your class is starting a unit on world religions and have them sign it to opt-out or opt-in. Follow your district’s guidelines.

South America Geography; Taking The Road To South America File Folder Activity
By Geography & Math Made Easy
This lesson is easy enough for 5th graders to understand yet works well with students up to grade 12. Modifications can be made as needed.
Need a creative way to introduce South America to your students? Tired of the same old intro procedures? Here is a great way to not only introduce South America to students but encourage the use of map skills such as a compass rose, map scale, etc.

Take your students on the experience of a lifetime. Give them autonomy within their learning experience and encourage them to explore!
This lesson can be modified by the instruction to meet a wide range of learning abilities.
