Why Use It:
This worksheet reinforces geographical knowledge by connecting countries with their capitals. It develops map reading skills and understanding of global coordinate systems (latitude and longitude). It also encourages research skills as students may need to look up the coordinates.
How to Use It:
Students should use maps, atlases, or online resources to find the latitude and longitude coordinates for each capital city listed in the worksheet. They should then write the coordinates in the provided 'Coordinates' column, using the example as a guide. Students should be aware that coordinates may be approximate.
Target Users:
