Montana was important in U.S. history for its role in westward expansion, serving as home to Native American tribes, fur traders, and pioneers traveling along major trails. It also became a key area for mining, ranching, and battles between the U.S. Army and Native Americans, including the famous Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876. With its beautiful mountains and landscapes, Montana is a great place to live and visit.

With this activity, students will learn this and more about the state of Montana, including its state symbols, state quarter, geography, government and more. They will answer 40 questions about the state, including coloring in the state flag and labeling a provided map of the state. These questions span a total of five pages.
