Gil Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I'm looking for a Single-Level geography program that teaches major landforms every country and capital (give or take a few newer or disputed nations). World map-drawing I looked on Rainbow Resource and was disappointed by how much of it seems like it's multi-level or teaches cultures/recipes instead of just physical and political geogrpahy.

importswim Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 What about Memoria Press Geography 3? It seems to have a lot of what you're looking for. We're starting it this year so I don't currently have experience with it, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemsondana Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 We've used Simply Charlotte Mason's 'Visits to...' series. It doesn't do all capitols, but it does countries, major landofrms, and has the option to draw or trace the whole map. It's meant to do one continent at a time, 15-30 minutes once/week. If you chose to do it daily, you could probably do it all in one year. If you like hands-on things, we've played around with Pin-it Maps, which can be used in different ways but has all of the information that you are asking for, I think.

lulalu Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Trick geography- I don't think you draw with it but it does go over countries and landforms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janeway Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I used to like Runkle but it seems to be gone. I’m betting the program would be quite out of date now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyroo Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 We just use Anki decks. There are some amazing pre-made decks with high quality maps that can teach major (and many very minor) landforms, countries, capitals, states, flags, currency, language, etc. We don't learn all of those. I start my kids with a couple dozen each of the most prominent countries and landforms. Once they have those down, I add in the cards for the capitals of those countries, a handful of new countries and some more landforms. Lather, rinse, repeat. In the background, Anki takes care of spaced repetition so that the older information is not being forgotten. It is simple and free and works for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraClark Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 We use seterra.com. It wouldn't fit the world map drawing requirement, but it would hit the other two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnceUponAFullMoon Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Not a program but it's a fun hands-on game to learn about countries and capitals, similar to pin maps.

I've seen stuff like this, but invariably it's usually certain regions done well and the rest of the world was kinda of an after thought and it's apparent from the quality of the continents.

Geopuzzles sells a different one for each continent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
