Teacher Resources
Vocabulary
Region: A large area of land with features that make it different from other areas.
Midwest: The central region of the US, known for flat plains and farming.
Northeast: The northeasternmost US region, including New England and the Mid-Atlantic states.
Southeast: The southeastern US region, known for warm climate and the Gulf Coast.
Southwest: The southwestern US region, known for deserts and dry climate.
West: The western US region, spanning from the Pacific Coast to the Rocky Mountains.
Common Mistakes
  • Placing Texas in the Southeast (it is Southwest)
  • Confusing West and Midwest
  • Forgetting that Oklahoma is Southwest, not Southeast
Differentiation
SupportUse only 2 clearly different regions (West vs. Northeast) with 6 items
ChallengeAdd geographic clues and cultural items alongside state names
Extension Activities
  • Color-code a blank US map by region
  • Research one famous landmark in each region
  • Find a food each region is famous for and make a class "regional menu"
Parent Tip

Pull up a US map and challenge your child to find the regions. Ask: "What region do we live in? What region would we visit if we went to the beach in Florida?"
