Step 1: Understand the Map



We have a grid of streets:

- Main Street (top horizontal)
- Water Street (bottom horizontal)
- Happy Street (left vertical)
- Green Street (right vertical)

There are various locations marked with symbols. The Map Key tells us what each symbol means:

- 🚌 = bus stop
- ⛽ = gas station
- 🍽️ = restaurant
- 📚 = library
- 🏬 = church
- 📮 = post office
- 🏡 = Adam’s house

Also, there's a compass showing directions: North (N), East (E), South (S), West (W).

Adam’s house is in the top-left block, on the corner of Main Street and Happy Street.

Question 1: What street is the 🍽️ (restaurant) on?



Look at the restaurant symbol (fork and knife). It's located in the center block, between Main Street and Water Street, and between Happy Street and Green Street.

So it's on Water Street.

Answer: Water Street

---

Question 2: There is a 🚌 (bus stop) on Main Street and ________



Look for the bus stop symbol (a bus). There are two:

- One on Main Street and Green Street
- One on Water Street and Green Street

So, the one on Main Street is at the intersection with Green Street.

Answer: Green Street

---

Question 3: To get to the 📮 (post office), Adam needs to go ________ on Happy Street.



Adam’s house is at the northwest corner (top-left), on Main Street and Happy Street.

The post office is in the bottom-left block, on Water Street and Happy Street.

So Adam must travel south down Happy Street from his house to reach the post office.

Answer: south

---

Question 4: What is on the corner of Green Street and Water Street?



Find the intersection of Green Street (right vertical) and Water Street (bottom horizontal).

At that corner (bottom-right block), there is a gas station (⛽).

Now look at the options:
- Church (🕌)
- Gas station (⛽)

Circle the gas station

---

Final Answers:



1. Water Street
2. Green Street
3. south
4. Gas station (circle the gas station symbol)
