About this resource
Description
This Kansas worksheet takes students to the heart of the country, where wide prairies and golden wheat fields stretch to the sky. Learning about each state helps children build map sense, social studies vocabulary, and a picture of how people live in different places. Kansas is a great place to start, because it sits right in the middle of the lower forty-eight states.
The 3rd grade states worksheet opens with a short non-fiction passage about Kansas: its four neighbor states, the year it joined the country, where its name comes from, the prairie and the Flint Hills, the wild sunflowers that give it the name the Sunflower State, its capital and largest city, and the wheat that feeds people around the world. A bright painted picture of a wheat field and rolling prairie sits above the text. On the next page, students answer four multiple-choice questions and write a short answer that uses two details from the passage. An answer key is included.
What’s Included
- A 249-word non-fiction passage about Kansas with a full-color illustration
- Four multiple-choice questions on facts and vocabulary from the text
- One short-answer question that asks for text evidence
- A complete answer key
Why It Helps Kids
- Students practice finding facts and details in an informational text.
- A vocabulary question teaches how to use context to learn a new word.
- The short answer builds the habit of backing up an answer with evidence.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before reading, find Kansas on a United States map and name the four states that touch it. After reading, have students list three things Kansas is known for and compare them with facts about your own state. This Kansas worksheet fits well into a states unit, a geography center, or a homework packet, and it pairs nicely with a lesson on farming and where our food comes from.
