Blank, numbered or named
Blank prints the 10 shapes with nothing written; Numbered puts 1 on Belknap and 10 on Sullivan, in alphabetical order; Named prints every name, and Print the answer key gives the list.
New Hampshire on the map
Coös County, in the north, is the largest; the state reaches the Atlantic only along a short coast in Rockingham County. Its neighbors, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts and Canada, are drawn around it without numbers.
Ten counties fit an early lesson: print Blank, then Named to check.
