Educational worksheet for classifying the 13 original American colonies into regional groups.

The task asks to sort the 13 American colonies into three regions: New England, Middle, and Southern. This is a standard historical classification based on geography during the colonial period.

Let’s go step by step:

Step 1: Recall or look up which colonies belong to each region.

- New England Colonies (northeastern coast):
These are Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. Sometimes people include others, but traditionally these four are core New England.

Wait — let’s double-check with reliable sources (like Seterra’s map mentioned in the instructions). According to standard U.S. history:

✔ New England:
- Massachusetts
- Connecticut
- Rhode Island
- New Hampshire

(That’s 4)

✔ Middle Colonies:
- New York
- New Jersey
- Pennsylvania
- Delaware

(That’s 4)

✔ Southern Colonies:
- Maryland
- Virginia
- North Carolina
- South Carolina
- Georgia

(That’s 5)

Total = 4 + 4 + 5 = 13 → matches!

Now check the list given in the image:

Listed colonies:
Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire

All 13 are there.

So we assign them correctly:

→ NEW ENGLAND: Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire
→ MIDDLE: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware
→ SOUTHERN: Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia

Double-checking against common knowledge and Seterra’s data (which this worksheet references), this is accurate.

Final Answer:
NEW ENGLAND: Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire
MIDDLE: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware
SOUTHERN: Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia
