It practices how Native nations' ways of life fit their environments — 2 questions for Grade 3 to Grade 5, all on C3 Framework D2.Geo.4.3-5: Explain how culture shapes the way people change and adapt to their surroundings. The instruction to students is “All of these nations exist today. Draw a line from each nation to how its people traditionally lived”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Does Nations of North America come with an answer key?
Yes. All 2 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
How many different versions of Nations of North America can I print?
25 — one per student, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
