Question

How do you remember the shapes of the 13 colonies? i could only memorize maryland

Answer 1

Here is how I memorized it:

- Georgia: kinda looks wonky and it's also right above Florida so that's easy to remember

- South Carolina: When I was younger I thought its shape kinda resembled a heart so now I associate it with that

- North Carolina: The coastline looks like it was broken off to me so that helps me remember it. Plus it's long and straight on the top.

- Virginia: The shape kinda looks like a mountain to me

- Maryland: You already know Maryland.

- Delaware: Kinda looks like an elf shoe if turned sideways

- Pennsylvania: Looks like a broken graham cracker to me (dunno why)

- New Jersey: If you put eyes on it then it would look like its eating Pennsylvania

- New York: is just big. I remember it by long island

- Connecticut: it kinda looks like a ch.at bubble (I think??)

- Rhode Island: I remember it because its small and mostly a rectangle

- Massachusetts: It kinda looks like it has a tail on the coastline

-New Hampshire: One of the only ones thats long vertically and skinny horizontally

Now that you have had an inside look on how my brain works, you can see its quite odd but I make it work ig:) Sorry if that doesn't help much! Thats just how I memorized the shapes.

Answer 2

I make little hits for them. Like, if one looks like a L then I add a name for it and memorize it as that.
