How it works
Monday–Friday: There are two geography questions for each day of the week, and the questions progress in difficulty from Monday to Friday. Each week includes a challenge question at the end of the unit.

Bonus! A 10-page reproducible geography glossary is included for students to use as an easy reference booklet throughout the year.
