At the beginning of the year, our daughter's 5th grade teacher said they would need to learn the states, capitals, and locations on a map. We found these cards on Amazon and let our daughter play with them.
There are two sets of cards:
SET 1: Front Solid shape of a state with a star where the capital is, along with an arrow pointing to the state's location on the US map. Back state name, abbreviation, and capital city.
SET 2: Front State name, shape, star for the capital, and flag. Back State name, abbreviation, capital, nickname(s), state bird, state flower, state tree, statehood date, fun fact.
These cards have been useful. The class is learning a region at a time (northeast, southeast, etc.) so our daughter pulls out the cards she wants to study with. Then we can quiz her on them before the test.
We also used them for a game once during a play date with 4 girls from different schools, all in the 5th grade. They teamed up and I showed them a state, and they had to name the capital. Each team got a sticker for getting it right, and if they got it wrong, the next team could "steal" it with the correct answer. Instead of focusing too much on wrong answers, we also tried making up ways to remember the capitals, such as MONTpelier, VerMONT, and TRENTON plays basketball and needs a NEW JERSEY.
There are also fact cards for the US territories and one for Washington, DC.

These flashcards are by far the best on the market. I like that they not only include the important information for each state, they also show on the map where each state is located. They are also brightly colored and have a nice, sturdy box.
