Example

Guatemala departments and capitals test: 22 numbered on A4, answers on page 2

A teacher at a bilingual school in Guatemala prepares a test on the departments and their capitals (cabeceras). Style “Numbered, to write the names and capitals (worksheet + answers)” on A4 prints the map numbered 1 to 22 with Name, Date and two columns of Department and Capital lines; page 2 is the answer key.

Ten capitals have names of their own, the ones to learn first: Flores, Santa Cruz del Quiché, Salamá, Cobán, Guastatoya, Puerto Barrios, Mazatenango, Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala City and Cuilapa.
For a wall map, “With the names” and “Mark the capitals” print all 22 departments and 22 dots, Guatemala City as the national capital; on A4 and Letter two names go on short leader lines, on A3 none.

No.	Department	Capital	No.	Department	Capital

Two A4 pages: the numbered map with 22 lines for department and capital, and the answers from 1 Petén, Flores to 22 Chiquimula, Chiquimula.

How it works
