40 State Matching

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a list of U.S. states numbered 1 through 20 and a separate list of capitals labeled A through T, alongside a third list of states numbered 21 through 40 with their capitals labeled U through NN. The task appears to be a matching exercise, where students are expected to connect each state to its correct capital by writing the letter corresponding to the capital next to the state’s number. An American flag is placed in the upper right corner, emphasizing the national focus of the activity. The worksheet is a mix-and-match style learning tool, which requires students to actively recall and associate state names with their capitals.

The worksheet aims to teach students about the capital cities of the United States and to test their knowledge of state-capital pairings. It encourages critical thinking and memorization, as students must match the correct capital to each state. This activity helps in reinforcing geographical literacy and retention of U.S. state capitals. By engaging with this exercise, students enhance their memory skills and learn to recognize the political geography of their country.
