Step-by-step solution for: KS2 Africa Facts Worksheet - Primary Resources - Twinkl
Here are the answers to the questions on the Africa Activity Sheet, based on general geography knowledge and the provided answer key in the image.
1. Africa is a continent.
* Reasoning: The first question asks what Africa is. Geographically, Africa is one of the world's seven continents.
2. Sudan is the largest country in Africa.
* Reasoning: This refers to total land area. While South Sudan split from Sudan in 2011, making Algeria the largest by some modern metrics, many educational resources still list Sudan as the largest or refer to the historical context. Looking at the "Answers" sheet in the image, it lists "Sudan" for this blank.
3. The largest country in Africa is Sudan.
* Reasoning: This seems to be a duplicate or slightly rephrased version of question 2 in the student worksheet structure, but looking closely at the image text:
* Question 2 says: "______ is a continent." -> Answer: Africa
* Question 3 says: "The largest country in ______ is ______." -> Wait, let me re-read the cropped images carefully.
* Let's look at the "Africa Activity Sheet Answers" column in the middle.
* 1. Africa is a continent.
* 2. Sudan is the largest country in Africa. (Note: The prompt text in the user image is cut off, but standard geography facts apply).
* Actually, let's look at the leftmost sheet ("Africa Activity Sheet").
* Q1: `________ is a continent.` -> Answer: Africa
* Q2: `The largest country in ________ is ________.` -> This line is tricky. Usually, it's "The largest country in Africa is Sudan/Algeria". Let's look at the answer key in the middle image.
* Middle Image Q1: `Africa` is a continent.
* Middle Image Q2: `Sudan` is the largest country in `Africa`.
* Middle Image Q3: `The largest country in Africa is Sudan.` (This seems redundant, let me re-examine the lines).
* Let's trace the lines on the Left Sheet vs Middle Sheet.
* Left Sheet Q1: `________ is a continent.` -> Middle Sheet Answer 1: `Africa`.
* Left Sheet Q2: `The largest country in ________ is ________.` -> Middle Sheet Answer 2: `Sudan` is the largest country in `Africa`. (So Blank 1 is Sudan, Blank 2 is Africa? Or vice versa? "The largest country in Africa is Sudan" makes more sense grammatically. So Q2 likely reads: "The largest country in Africa is Sudan.")
* Left Sheet Q3: `Four countries in Africa are _______, _______, _______, and _______.` -> Middle Sheet Answer 3 lists: `South Africa, Morocco, Egypt, Kenya`. (Any four valid African countries work).
* Left Sheet Q4: `There are _______ countries altogether in Africa.` -> Middle Sheet Answer 4: `54` (or sometimes 55 depending on recognition). The answer key shows `54`.
* Left Sheet Q5: `On the right of the African coast is the _______ ocean.` -> Middle Sheet Answer 5: `Indian`.
* Left Sheet Q6: `The _______ is north of the African coast.` -> Middle Sheet Answer 6: `Mediterranean Sea`.
* Left Sheet Q7: `A river in Africa is _______.` -> Middle Sheet Answer 7: `Nile River`.
* Left Sheet Q8: `A lake in Africa is _______.` -> Middle Sheet Answer 8: `Lake Victoria`.
Let's double-check the specific blanks based on the visible text in the "Answers" sheet (middle column):
1. Africa is a continent.
2. Sudan is the largest country in Africa. (The blank structure in the question sheet is `The largest country in _______ is _______`. The answer key writes `Sudan` then `Africa`. This implies the sentence is "The largest country in Africa is Sudan" but the blanks might be swapped in my interpretation or the key just lists the words. Standard fact: Largest country is Sudan [historically] or Algeria [currently]. Given the key says Sudan, we use Sudan).
3. Four countries in Africa are South Africa, Morocco, Egypt, and Kenya. (Note: The answer key lists these four specifically).
4. There are 54 countries altogether in Africa.
5. On the right of the African coast is the Indian ocean.
6. The Mediterranean Sea is north of the African coast.
7. A river in Africa is the Nile River.
8. A lake in Africa is Lake Victoria.
Challenge Section:
* "Using the map above, write down all the countries within Africa."
* The rightmost column lists all 54 countries alphabetically. I will not list all 54 here unless asked, but the main questions are 1-8.
Let's refine the answers for clarity.
