About these regions of the united states worksheets

The United States is often divided into five regions: the West, the Midwest, the Northeast, the Southwest and the Southeast. States in a region share land, climate and ways of making a living.

These regions of the United States worksheets use charts and a simple box diagram rather than a detailed map. Children read a chart of each region's land, climate and resources, label the regions (with a cut and paste twin), use a chart of the states in each region, sort states, solve riddles, compare the Northeast and Southwest, and research a region of their choice.

Every page is black and white, prints on US Letter or A4, and every page with right answers has an answer key on page 2.

Standards

  • C3 D2.Geo.2.3-5Use maps, satellite images, photographs, and other representations to explain relationships between the locations of places and regions and their environmental characteristics.
  • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.4.7Conduct short research projects that build knowledge through investigation of different aspects of a topic.

How to use them

  1. Start with the chart. Find your own region first.
  2. Use a classroom wall map or atlas alongside the box diagram.
  3. Have groups each research one region and share.

Teaching tips

  • Books group a few states differently. Our chart uses a common five-region grouping: for example, Oklahoma and Texas in the Southwest.
  • The box diagram is not a map; it only shows where each region sits.
  • Link each region's resources to its jobs: corn in the Midwest, oil in the Southwest.
