How are they numbered?

From north to south in bands, west to east within each, so the list is easy to follow.

Is the answer key included?

Yes: the map with every name and capital, and the list filled in.

Is there a version with the names printed?

Yes — the map with the capitals, on its own page, names every one.

Why do the numbers change on US Letter?

The places are numbered in reading order across the map, north to south in bands and west to east, and the map is placed to fill the paper, so the bands fall a little differently. On A4 Victoria is 5 and New South Wales 7; on Letter New South Wales is 5. The answer page always matches its own worksheet.

Which capital do pupils most often get wrong?

Usually Canberra: many write Sydney. On the sheet Canberra, in the Australian Capital Territory (number 8 on A4), has the ringed dot of the national capital, while Sydney is the capital of New South Wales.

Example

Australia worksheet on A4: 8 numbered places, 1 Northern Territory to 8 the ACT

A primary teacher in Australia wants a ten-minute check on the states and territories. On A4 the PDF has two pages: the map with the 8 places numbered in circles and each capital as a dot (Canberra’s ringed as the national capital), Name and Date lines and 8 lines to write the state or territory and its capital; then the answers.

Leave the paper on A4 and press Make PDF: page 1 is the worksheet, page 2, headed “Answers”, shows the map with every name and capital and the list filled in as in the table.
On US Letter the map sits differently, so the numbers change from 5 on: 5 New South Wales, 6 Victoria, 7 Tasmania. Mark each worksheet with the answer page of the same PDF.

No.	State or territory	Capital
1	Northern Territory	Darwin
2	Western Australia	Perth
3	South Australia	Adelaide
4	Queensland	Brisbane
5	Victoria	Melbourne
6	Tasmania	Hobart
7	New South Wales	Sydney
8	Australian Capital Territory	Canberra

The class fills 8 lines: the six states and the two mainland territories, each with its capital, from 1 Northern Territory – Darwin to 8 Australian Capital Territory – Canberra. The file is australia-capitals-worksheet.pdf.

How it works

The states and territories are numbered on the map and each capital is a dot.
Pupils write the name and the capital on the line with the same number.
Press Make PDF: the worksheet comes first, the answer key after it.
