Mexico states and capitals worksheet: 32 numbers, the key on page 2

A sixth-grade Spanish immersion class in California is tested on Mexico’s states and capitals. On A4 or US Letter page 1 is the map with 32 numbered circles and a dot at each capital, Name and Date lines, and a list 1–32 in two columns with a State and a Capital line each. Page 2, Answers, names everything.

  1. The numbers run in reading order, north to south in bands and west to east within each: 1 Baja California, 2 Baja California Sur, 3 Sonora… 32 Chiapas.
  2. Mexico City is number 23; on the answer map it is a single label beside the ringed dot of the national capital.
  3. On A3 the map is drawn larger, with the list in one column beside it.

A two-page PDF. 12 capitals share their state’s name (Aguascalientes, Campeche, Chihuahua…), and Mexico City is its own capital; the usual slips are big cities that are not capitals — Tijuana for Mexicali, Acapulco for Chilpancingo, Cancún for Chetumal, Veracruz for Xalapa.

How it works

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

Frequently asked questions

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.
Can pupils practise on screen too?
Yes — the map quiz for the same country asks them one by one and keeps score.
Is Mexico City counted?
Yes, as one of the 32: it is number 23 in the list, with Mexico City on its capital line, and the answer map names it once beside the ringed dot of the national capital.
Which capitals do pupils mix up?
Mostly the big cities that are not capitals: Baja California’s capital is Mexicali (not Tijuana), Guerrero’s Chilpancingo (not Acapulco), Quintana Roo’s Chetumal (not Cancún), Veracruz’s Xalapa and Sinaloa’s Culiacán (not Mazatlán).
Is anything uploaded?
No. The PDF is made in your browser.
