Skill Sharpeners Geography - Grade 6
By sixth grade, geography becomes the study of how landscapes, resources, climate, and human decisions shape the world we live in. Skill Sharpeners Geography Grade 6 combines physical geography, human geography, and world cultures to help students understand both the planet itself and the people who inhabit it.
Students investigate topics such as storms, deserts, tectonic plates, changing elevations, Iceland's dramatic geology, global water challenges, and unique ecosystems. They also explore immigration through Angel Island, examine UNESCO World Heritage Sites, study sea travel and piracy, and discover some of the world's most remarkable locations.
Short nonfiction readings, vocabulary activities, writing prompts, colorful illustrations, and hands-on projects help students connect geographic concepts with real-world examples. The workbook's cross-curricular approach also strengthens reading comprehension, vocabulary, writing, and critical-thinking skills.
Optional cut-and-glue activities provide additional opportunities for hands-on learning, while the removable answer key and free downloadable teaching guide make implementation simple for parents.
More than a study of places on a map, Skill Sharpeners Geography Grade 6 helps students understand how geography influences history, culture, migration, resources, and life around the world.

How to Use Skill Sharpeners Geography Grade 6

- Encourage your student to make connections between the topics and current events. Discussions about migration, natural disasters, water resources, transportation, or environmental challenges often lead to some of the most memorable learning experiences.

Evan Moor 6th Grade Geography is a hit in my homeschool!
Christal G.
I’ve been using Evan Moor Skill Sharpeners for quite some time - we’re an eclectic unschooling family so find fun but not stressful resources is a top priority. The 6th grade Geography Skill Sharpener is perfect. There is reading comprehension, history, writing, and of course lots of geography presented simply without the need for much parental intervention. My 9 yr old Advanced leaner loves it.

This is the third year we have used this series of geography. I will say it has been useful in the past, but we have skipped it most of the year. The colorful pictures are this workbook biggest asset.
