Common Core 4th Grade ELA Question of the Day
Test your knowledge with a hand-picked multiple-choice question.
Maps often divide the country into regions to help people compare places. A region is an area that shares important features. For example, the Great Lakes region includes states that touch the big freshwater lakes. These states have many things in common. They have similar landforms, like long shorelines, and similar kinds of weather, with snowy winters. People there also share some jobs, such as shipping goods by boat and building cars. When a scientist or a teacher talks about a region, they mean a section of land grouped for its shared traits, not just any random spot.
