These are well printed and suit a couple of purposes. If they match your needs, they're a good choice.We had a middle-schooler facing a test on all 50 states and their capitals, who also needed to identify the states by location on a map. No other data was being asked (like state nickname etc.) so we needed a plain interface like these cards have.You can see from the box cover that one side of each card shows where a state sits in the main continental US map (sorry, Alaska and Hawaii -- you have to sit in the margin again!) The other side shows the state capital and its location within the state.With a two-sided card there is only so much the designer can do, and I discovered that to quiz a student about what state is being shown by the map location, it is necessary to hide the state name (at the bottom of the card) with a finger or two while holding the card up. If you wanted to get carried away I suppose you could make a card holder that would hide the bottom inch or so, to do the same thing. Anyway, not counting the occasional slipped finger (or very long state name), this plan worked.You can of course do the quiz in reverse, showing the capital side and asking for the state name. Since the capital side of the card also shows the state shape, it is hard to quiz just on the capitals by name -- the state outline is sort of a hint, you might say.You can figure most of this out for yourself, I am just explaining what happened when we actually tried to use these to test the knowledge in multiple ways. The cards work primarily for matching capitals and state names. Recognizing shapes, or memorizing capitals without a visual prompt, requires slight adaptations as described here.
