What is on the map
A 15 degree grid with the Equator, tropics, polar circles and Prime Meridian, and a worksheet. The worksheet numbers each feature from north to south and west to east, with a word bank on page one and the answer key on page two.
Both sheets use the Equal Earth projection, the same as the blank world map, so sizes are true to area. Everything prints in black and grey.
Common questions
What is the difference between latitude and longitude?
Latitude measures how far north or south of the Equator a place is, from 0 to 90 degrees. Longitude measures how far east or west of the Prime Meridian it is, from 0 to 180 degrees. Together they give every place on Earth a unique address.
Are these printables really free?
Yes. Every sheet is a free PDF with no sign up and no email address. You may print and copy them for your own classroom, homeschool or family. Each one comes in US Letter and A4, and the worksheets carry their answer key on the last page.
How do I print them so nothing is cut off?
Download the PDF that matches your paper, US Letter or A4, and print at actual size or 100 percent. Every sheet keeps half an inch of margin on all sides, so ordinary home and school printers reach every line. The maps print well in black and white; anything with flags needs color.
