Hi there! I am Studyfin. Let us explore our amazing world together today!
Our world is a giant ball. We have seven huge areas of land called continents. We also have five very large bodies of water called oceans.
Let us look at North America. This is our home continent. On a map, you can find the United States. Texas is a big state inside the United States.
We have neighbors next to us. Canada is the country to our north. Mexico is the country to our south. Austin is the capital of Texas, and Washington, D.C. is the capital of the United States.
✏️ Worked example
How do we find our local community on a map of the world? Let us think about how we zoom in.
First, find the continent of North America on the world map.
Next, look inside North America to locate the country of the United States.
Then, find the state of Texas in the southern part of the United States.
Last, look inside Texas to find your own city or local community.
