About this resource
Description
This wisconsin worksheet helps 3rd grade students learn about the Badger State while they practice reading for facts. Kids read about where Wisconsin sits on the map, which states and Great Lakes surround it, why it earned its nickname, and how the thick northern forests differ from the rolling dairy farms of the south.
About This Worksheet
Students read a short non-fiction passage beside a painted picture of the Wisconsin River gorge, with its tall sandstone cliffs and pine trees. 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 gorge. Last, they write a short answer that compares the north and the south of the state using two details from the text. Use this wisconsin worksheet as a social studies lesson, a reading center, or a quiet morning task.
What’s Included
- A one-page non-fiction passage about Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin on a classroom map before reading and trace the shores of Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. After the worksheet, have students make a travel poster for the state, or compare Wisconsin with a neighbor such as Minnesota or Illinois. Families can talk about where milk and cheese come from and read food labels together.
