Mark Twain Discovering the World of Geography Workbook, Grades 7-8 Middle School Books Focusing on Map Skills of t he Eastern Hemisphere, Social Studies Classroom or Homeschool Curriculum Paperback – January 1, 2003

I wasn't sure what to expect. I am pleasantly surprised! This has been a great addition to our homeschool curriculum. Very impressed.

One of the things I have always wanted to do was to know and understand different places and cultures. I love old maps and new maps. It is a sense of adventurer to study maps of all sorts. To know where Rivers, Lakes, Seas, Dessert and Mountains are in the world. This workbook made it possible and it is kind of fun at the same time.Young or Old like me. Enjoy!

As a homeschooling mom in NY I've found this workbook very useful. We use it to supplement the NYC curriculum in studies of the east. We will continue with this book but I now have found that little was done in his earlier grade on geography studies of the West. I have also purchased the book for the 1-6 grades to use as we study the colonization of the Americas. My older child was not home schooled and has often said that she was not taught all of this and reads over my sons work to learn for herself. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it needs a large world map or atlas to go with it. It has all the right questions but you can't get the full comprehension without a political/physical map.

The media could not be loaded. We are finishing up states and facts in geo now, this will be a nice book to delve further into that.

Great workbook for homeschooling. You get great use of the computer as well looking up the maps and countries. My 13 year old has enjoyed the start of this so hopefully he will continue. It is pretty intense as far as looking up the maps and finding the correct answers. Some of the maps get pretty in depth as far as the tiniest little country!! I do like that he is having to use the computer to look up the answers because it teaches him to pay attention and make sure that he is looking at the right maps.I would recommend this workbook to homeschooling moms!

This is a great workbook! Lots of hands-on activities and information for the kids. An atlas is needed to complete most of it but it is a great entry for the kids to learn how to use an atlas and what to look for. Of all the things I bought for school this year, this was definitely the best buy.

Libro de actividades de Geografia. Bonita portada.

This book does a great job of providing activities that expand a student's knowledge of geography from other important perspectives, such as history, economy, and politics.
