About this resource
Description
This montana worksheet helps 3rd grade students learn about the Treasure State while they practice reading for facts. Kids read about where Montana sits on the map, which states and country border it, why it earned its nickname, and how the snowy Rocky Mountains of the west differ from the wide, open plains of the east.
About This Worksheet
Students read a short non-fiction passage beside a painted picture of the Montana plains, with golden grass, a huge blue sky, and snowy peaks far away. Next, they answer four multiple-choice questions about the year the state joined the country, its nickname, its capital, and the meaning of the word plains. Last, they write a short answer that compares the west and the east of the state using two details from the text. Use this montana worksheet as a social studies lesson, a reading center, or a quiet morning task.
What’s Included
- A one-page non-fiction passage about Montana with a full-color picture
- Four multiple-choice questions with fill-in bubbles
- One written response that asks for two text details
- A complete answer key
Why It Helps Kids
First, it builds real knowledge of the fifty states, including borders, landforms, and state nicknames. Second, it gives students practice finding facts and word meanings in a text, a key reading skill. Third, the written response teaches kids to compare two places and back up their ideas with evidence. It is a great 3rd grade states worksheet for any unit on United States geography.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Find Montana on a classroom map before reading and point out Canada to the north and the Rocky Mountains to the west. After the worksheet, have students make a travel poster for Big Sky Country, or compare Montana with a neighbor such as Idaho or Wyoming. Families can look at a map together and trace the Missouri River from the mountains across the plains.
