About Africa
GoConqr OriginalWhat the Africa unit covers
The resources here range from map work to case studies. Map practice includes the Africa Physical Map Quiz, which asks you to place features such as the Atlas Mountains, the Congo River and the Cape of Good Hope. Capitals and countries have their own quizzes and flashcard decks, including African Capitals.
Beyond maps, there are mind maps on regions and themes: the Sahel, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, the Nile, climate and vegetation, and the resources of Africa. Some take on specific issues, such as food shortages, the effects of Ebola and coltan mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Where to start
- Begin with the physical map quiz, then the flashcards on physical features, so the layout of the continent is clear.
- Move to countries and capitals, using a quiz after each flashcard deck.
- Open the regional mind maps, such as the Sahel region of Africa mind map, to see how places and issues connect.
- Finish with case studies, such as the Nigeria flashcards and the Kenya quizzes.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first and note what you can explain without looking. Then take a quiz on the same place and see what you missed. Go back to the map for those gaps. The flashcards work well for short sessions, such as key words and definitions.
Teachers can pick a quiz or slide set, such as the slides on the country of Rwanda, as ready-made material for a class.
Where it sits
This unit belongs to the Regional Geography strand of Geography. The listed material includes a mention of GCSE Geography, and most of it suits secondary-level study.
Next step
Choose one region, try its quiz, and see what you remember. Then build your own mind map or flashcards from what you find.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the Africa Physical Map Quiz. It covers features such as the Atlas Mountains, the Congo River and the Cape of Good Hope. Once you know the layout, move on to the capitals flashcards and the regional mind maps.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover regions such as the Sahel, North Africa and the Horn of Africa, plus the Nile, climate and vegetation, and resources. Others look at countries including Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and South Africa, and at issues like food shortages and Ebola.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so it is worth checking them against your own course notes.
Which levels and exams do they suit?
Most resources are at secondary level, so they suit school students. The listed material mentions GCSE Geography. Teachers can also use the quizzes and slide sets as ready-made material for lessons.
Can I save my scores or make my own sets?

Are there resources on specific countries?
Yes. There are quizzes, mind maps and flashcards on Nigeria and Kenya, a slide set on Rwanda, and further material on South Africa, Ghana, Ethiopia, Lesotho and Mozambique.
