Description
Students use this engaging puzzle activity to create a giant United States map. Give your students a fun, engaging hands-on experience to become more familiar with America's 50 states and how they fit together.
Students need to identify unlabeled state puzzle pieces by observing their shapes and then arranging them to construct a large US map. An index is provided to limit choices to only a few. The completed map is approximately 28" x 42".
**The video (above) was created using the pieces for the United States Map Puzzle, which is just a smaller version of the Giant Wall Map Puzzle (this resource). The video does give the viewer a good idea of how the Giant Wall Map Puzzle is created using this resource although the pieces are much larger than those in the video.
Objectives:
-Develop a spatial awareness of the 50 states of America on a US map.
-Identify individual states based on their shape.
-Construct a map of the United States using student-labeled puzzle pieces.
This is a black and white print-and-go resource. This resource is included in the Big Bundle. If you bought the bundle, you already own it.

Customer Tips:
Save $$$.
Did you know that Teachers Pay Teachers gives TpT credits, saving $$$ on future purchases, when you purchase a product and leave feedback?
You get one TpT Credit for every $ you spend on TpT--but only when you leave a fair rating and a comment. TpT rounds up for you, too! If you provide fair feedback on a $4.75 item, you will earn 5 credits. Every 100 credits is worth $5 that you can apply towards future TpT purchases, but there is no need to wait until you have 100 to redeem them. 50 credits is worth $2.50, for example. It’s a great deal and a great way to save $$$. It’s a win, win. You save money and I get feedback to help me determine which products are most valuable for your classroom. Then I can create more of what you need.
How to get TPT credit to use on your future purchases:
• Please go to your My Purchases page (you may need to login). Beside each purchase you'll see a Provide Feedback button. Simply click it and you will be taken to a page where you can give a quick rating and leave a short comment for the product. TpT will issue you credit and keep track of the credits you earn.
