Questions about Latitude and Longitude
What does the Latitude and Longitude worksheet cover?
It practices locating places by latitude and longitude — 8 questions for Grade 3 to Grade 5, all on C3 Framework D2.Geo.1.3-5: Make maps of places you know and places you do not. The instruction to students is “Circle the best answer”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
Which C3 Framework indicator does Latitude and Longitude practice?
D2.Geo.1.3-5, under Geography for Grade 3 to Grade 5. The published indicator reads: “Construct maps and other graphic representations of both familiar and unfamiliar places.” The worksheet assesses that indicator rather than a paraphrase of it.
What age or grade is this worksheet for?
Latitude and Longitude is written for Grade 3 to Grade 5, typically ages 40-41. It is one of the sheets on D2.Geo.1.3-5, so it suits any student working at that standard — including older students revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Does Latitude and Longitude come with an answer key?
Yes. All 8 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
How many different versions of Latitude and Longitude can I print?
25 — one per student, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
Is Latitude and Longitude free to print and photocopy?
Yes. Latitude and Longitude, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
