How the Africa worksheets work

Island nations such as Cape Verde, São Tomé and Príncipe, the Comoros, Mauritius and the Seychelles are circled so pupils can find them. Western Sahara is shaded grey as a disputed territory rather than numbered.

On the label-it and capitals sheets, pupils write the names on the numbered lines; the labelled map doubles as a reference sheet. All sheets are crisp black line maps with light shading, so they photocopy and print cleanly in black and white.
