Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: 20 Map Skills Activities That Are Hands-On
Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a map grid with rows labeled 1, 2, 3 and columns labeled A, B, C.
There is also a “Map Key” that tells us what each symbol means:

- Shopping cart = grocery store
- Gas pump = gas station
- Hospital cross = hospital
- Slide = playground
- Envelope = post office
- Candy shop icon = candy shop

Now let’s look at the questions:

---

Question 1: What is located in square A1?

Look at row 1, column A → that’s the top-left square.
In that square, we see a shopping cart.
From the Map Key, shopping cart = grocery store.
So answer for Q1: grocery store

*(Note: The student already wrote “Grocery Store” — correct!)*

---

Question 2: What is located in square B3?

Row 3, column B → bottom middle square.
In that square, we see an envelope.
From the Map Key, envelope = post office.
So answer for Q2: post office

*(Student wrote “Post Office” — correct!)*

---

Question 3: Which ■ is the hospital in?

We need to find where the hospital symbol is on the grid.
Hospital symbol = red cross on white bag (from Map Key).
Looking at the grid:

- Row 2, Column A → has the hospital symbol.
So that’s square A2.

The question says: “Which ■ is the hospital in?” and shows a blank box next to “A2” — so we just confirm it’s A2.

Answer for Q3: A2

*(Student wrote “A2” — correct!)*

---

Wait — there’s one more part! Look at the last line:

> 3. Which ■ is the playground in? ___

Actually, looking again — the worksheet has two question #3s? Let me check carefully.

Original text from image:

> 1. What is located in square A1? → Grocery Store
> 2. What is located in square B3? → Post Office
> 3. Which ■ is the hospital in? → A2
> 3. Which ■ is the playground in? → ___ ← This seems like a typo in numbering — probably should be question 4.

But since the user didn’t ask about that, and the handwritten answers only go up to A2, maybe we’re only solving the first three?

Wait — actually, looking at the image again (even though I’m not supposed to describe it), the last visible question is:

> 3. Which ■ is the playground in? ___

And the student hasn’t filled that in yet. But the instruction says: “Solve the problem accurately.” And the user provided options: ExplainAnswer=false, TeachTopic=false, GeneratePractice=false — so we just give Final Answer.

But which questions are we answering? The ones shown with blanks? Or all?

Looking back at the original request: “Solve the problem accurately.” and the image contains 4 questions (with duplicate numbering).

But in the handwritten part, only first 3 are answered. However, logically, we should answer ALL questions present.

Let’s list them clearly:

Q1: A1 → grocery store
Q2: B3 → post office
Q3 (first): hospital location → A2
Q3 (second, likely Q4): playground location → ?

Playground symbol = slide (from Map Key)
Where is the slide on the grid?

Look at row 2, column C → that’s the red slide.
So square C2

Therefore, the playground is in C2

---

Since the worksheet lists two question #3s, but the second one is clearly asking for playground, and it’s unanswered, we must include it.

Final Answers needed:

1. grocery store
2. post office
3. A2 (for hospital)
4. C2 (for playground)

But wait — the way the worksheet is written:

It says:

> 3. Which ■ is the hospital in? [A2]
> 3. Which ■ is the playground in? ___

This is likely a printing error — the second “3.” should be “4.”

But regardless, we solve both.

However, note: the user may expect only the answers corresponding to the numbered items as presented. Since the last item is also labeled “3.”, perhaps they want both?

To be safe, let’s provide answers for all four parts implied.

But looking at the structure:

The worksheet has:

- Question 1 → A1 → grocery store
- Question 2 → B3 → post office
- Question 3 → hospital → A2
- Then another “3.” → playground → ???

Probably a misnumbering. In educational contexts, sometimes worksheets have typos. We’ll assume the intent is to answer all location questions.

Thus:

Final set of answers:

1. grocery store
2. post office
3. A2
4. C2

But how to format? The user said “Final Answer: [Provide only the final correct answer]”

Perhaps list them in order.

Alternatively, since the student already filled in first three correctly, and the last one is blank, maybe we only need to supply the missing one? But the instruction says “solve the problem”, meaning all.

Given ambiguity, safest is to provide all answers as per the questions listed.

But note: in the image, after “3. Which ■ is the hospital in? A2”, there is another line: “3. Which ■ is the playground in? ___” — so technically two question 3s.

I think the best approach is to treat them as separate and answer both.

So:

For “Which ■ is the hospital in?” → A2
For “Which ■ is the playground in?” → C2

Thus, complete answers:

1. grocery store
2. post office
3. A2 (hospital)
and
3. C2 (playground) — but since same number, perhaps write:

Actually, re-examining: the worksheet might have intended:

Question 3: Which square is the hospital in? → A2
Question 4: Which square is the playground in? → C2

But it's printed as two 3s.

In any case, for accuracy, we'll provide:

Final Answer should include:

- Answer to Q1: grocery store
- Answer to Q2: post office
- Answer to first Q3: A2
- Answer to second Q3 (playground): C2

But since the user might expect a single string, let’s see.

Perhaps the expected output is just the answers in order as per the blanks.

Looking at the image description (though I shouldn't refer to it), the student has written:

Line 1: "Grocery Store"
Line 2: "Post Office"
Line 3: "A2"
Line 4: blank (for playground)

So likely, we need to fill the last blank.

But the instruction says “solve the problem”, implying all parts.

To resolve: I will provide all four answers in sequence.

Final Answer:
grocery store, post office, A2, C2

But let’s double-check playground location.

Grid:

Row 1: A=cart, B=?, C=candy shop
Row 2: A=hospital, B=candy shop?, C=slide → yes, C2 is slide → playground
Row 3: A=?, B=envelope, C=?

Yes, C2 is correct.

Also, verify no other slides — only one slide, in C2.

Perfect.

grocery store, post office, A2, C2
