All About My State/Territory (Worksheet A)
This set of 8 information worksheets are a terrific way to teach your students some interesting information about their home state or territory. Each sheet contains a series of facts about the state, as well as a map for students to identify the location of their state within Australia. Students will then answer a series of questions and label some features and places on the map of their state.
Print off the sheet relevant to the state/territory your school is located in.
Learning goals
- We are learning to understand the way the world is represented in geographic divisions and the location of Australia in relation to these divisions.

- We are learning to understand connections of people in Australia to people in other places in Australia and across the world.
- We are learning to understand why people choose to visit places, e.g. accessibility, transport, technology and distance, and the reason for visiting, e.g. shopping, recreation, sport, family.
