Informational WritingName: Date:

Think about a topic you know a lot about. Write about your topic below, using key details and facts.

This work is based on an original work of the Core Knowledge® Foundation (www.coreknowledge.org) made available through licensing under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

Directions: Read about Continents and Countries below. Then, help your student use the

map below to answer some questions.

There are about two hundred countries in the world. Some countries are islands,

but most are found on large areas of land we call continents. There are seven

continents on Earth. You can see the seven continents on this map of the world.

Much of Earth is covered

by oceans and seas. The

oceans are the Pacific, the

Atlantic, the Indian, and

the Arctic.

We sometimes show Earth as a round globe because Earth is

a round planet! The center or middle of Earth’s surface is

marked by a line called the equator. Earth’s northern half is

called the Northern Hemisphere, and the southern half is called the Southern

Hemisphere. The farthest northern point is the North Pole. The farthest southern

point is the South Pole.

This year in first grade students have been learning about Communities and

Cultures. In these at home learning opportunities you can continue this

exploration. Some information may be review and some may be new. Feel free to

use any resources you have (such as the internet or books) to explore the topics

more each week. Each week will connect to the last as much as possible.

Money can be coins. Money can also be paper. People use money to buy things. That is called spending.

People don’t spend all their money at the same time. They keep some for another time. That is called saving.

Many people keep their money at a bank. A bank is a place that keeps money safe.

Here are some names for money in the United States:

A penny equals one cent.

A nickel equals five cents.

A dime equals 10 cents.

A quarter equals 25 cents.

A half-dollar equals 50 cents.

One dollar equals 100 cents.
