🌍 Where This Fits in Geography Studies
Fact cards bridge the gap between basic continent recognition and deeper country-specific research. After children can identify Europe on a globe and name a few major countries, fact cards provide structured information for systematic continent exploration. This set works best when introduced alongside hands-on map work, not as isolated memorization. Offer fact cards after introducing the continents puzzle and before assigning independent country research projects.
