Which capital differs from its province’s name?

Only Guanacaste’s, Liberia. The other six share their province’s name, and both are still named.

Is there a worksheet version?

Yes — choose the numbered style: the provinces are numbered and pupils write each name and capital, with the answers on page two.

Can I print it larger?

Yes: choose A3 for more room for the names. The lines are vector, so they stay sharp at any size.

Why is every capital named when most share the province’s name?

So that the town and the province are both on the sheet: each of the seven dots has its own label beside it, Alajuela the city as well as Alajuela the province. On A4, Letter and A3 all 14 names fit without leader lines.

Which paper does it start on?

US Letter in the US, Costa Rica and the other countries that use it, A4 elsewhere; you can change it. The map itself is landscape, the worksheets upright.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The map is made in your browser. On the free plan a small line with our name is printed at the foot of the sheet.

Example

Costa Rica’s 7 provinces and capitals on US Letter, then the capitals worksheet

A homeschooling family in Ohio studies Costa Rica before a trip. In the US the page opens on US Letter: Costa Rica lies landscape (279 × 216 mm), the seven provinces named and seven capital dots, San José ringed. Here every capital is named, even the six that share their province’s name, so the sheet carries 14 names and needs no leader line.

The one to learn is Guanacaste: its capital is Liberia. Alajuela, Heredia, Cartago, San José, Limón and Puntarenas are each the name of a province and of its capital city.
For the test, “Numbered, to write the names and capitals” on Letter makes an upright two-page PDF: the provinces numbered with a Province and a Capital line each, the answers on page 2.

No. on the Letter worksheet	Province	Capital
1	Guanacaste	Liberia
2	Alajuela	Alajuela
3	Heredia	Heredia
4	Cartago	Cartago
5	San José	San José (national capital)
6	Limón	Limón
7	Puntarenas	Puntarenas

Fourteen names on one sheet and one capital to learn by heart, Liberia. The worksheet numbers are not alphabetical, so the answers cannot be copied from a list: each province has to be found on the map.

How it works

The map names each division and marks its capital with a dot and its name.
Choose the paper — A3 leaves more room for the names — or the blank style for a quiz.
