This study toolkit is designed to help your students learn more about our world. It includes blank maps of the U.S., the world, and Africa, as well as past GeoBee questions related to each. Students should challenge themselves to fill out each map using their own knowledge and any atlases they may have available. If they get stuck, there are labeled answer key maps at the end of the toolkit!
PART 1 (PAGES 2-3)
Part 1 includes 10 questions and a blank map of the United States. Prior to answering the questions, students can test their knowledge of the locations of each state by filling out the map on page 3. Then, students can answer the questions using the map they completed!
PART 2 (PAGES 4-5)
Part 2 includes 10 questions and a blank map of the world. Prior to answering the questions, students can test their knowledge of the locations of each of the seven continents and four oceans by filling out the map on page 5. Then, students can answer the questions using the map they completed!
PART 3 (PAGES 6-7)
Part 3 includes 10 questions and a blank map of Africa. Prior to answering the questions, students can test their knowledge of the locations of each of the 54 countries of Africa by filling out the map on page 7. Then, students can answer the questions using the map they completed!
The answer key for both parts can be found starting on page 8, along with additional free study resources !
Students can prepare for the National Geographic GeoBee—either at home or in the classroom—using this study toolkit.
