1st Grade · Geography
Early elementary geography teaches children to read and make simple maps. They learn the four directions, map keys and symbols, the difference between land and water, and the names of the seven continents and five oceans. They also compare their own community with places around the world, from homes and food to weather. Each first grade geography worksheet is a free printable PDF in US Letter or A4, many with an answer key for grown-ups and a low-ink version.
