About this resource
Description
Knowing the fifty states by their shapes is a big step in learning the geography of the United States. These US states black and white flash cards help students recognize every state from its outline, the same way they will see it on a map. Each card shows a large, accurate state outline on the front and the state name on the back, so students look, think, and then check their answer.
The set has 50 fold-over cards, one for every state, in alphabetical order. There is no double-sided printing: print the sheets, fold each one on the center line, and cut on the dashed lines. Every card stays joined at the fold, so the shape and the name never get separated. The card sheets print in black and white, which makes them easy and cheap to copy for a whole class. Students look at the shape, say the name of the state, and flip the card to check. The back of each card also shows the two-letter postal code, and a complete answer key lists every card by number.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with materials, prep tips, and simple steps
- 50 fold-over state cards with a large state outline on the front and the state name and postal code on the back
- An answer key listing all 50 cards with each state name and postal code
Why These Flash Cards Help
First, the big, true-to-life outlines train students to notice the shape of each state, which makes reading a map much easier. Second, short daily practice with flash cards is one of the best ways to move facts into long-term memory. Third, sorting the cards into a known pile and a practice pile lets each student spend time on the states they still need.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Start with the states in your own region, then add a few new cards each week. Because the cards are black and white, students can color each state shape with crayons as they learn it. These 1st grade states flash cards also grow with your class: older students can name the capital before they flip the card. Use the US states black and white flash cards with the resources below for more map practice.
