Problem Description:


The image provided is a worksheet for learning compass points. The task involves cutting out direction names (e.g., NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST, etc.) and gluing them onto the corresponding positions on a compass rose.

Solution Explanation:



1. Understanding the Compass Rose:
- A compass rose is a circular diagram that shows the cardinal directions (NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST) and often includes intermediate directions (NORTHEAST, SOUTHWEST, etc.).
- The compass rose in the image has eight sections, each representing a specific direction.

2. Identifying Directions:
- The directions are labeled as follows:
- NORTH (top)
- SOUTH (bottom)
- EAST (right)
- WEST (left)
- NORTHEAST (between NORTH and EAST)
- SOUTHWEST (between SOUTH and WEST)
- SOUTHEAST (between SOUTH and EAST)
- NORTHWEST (between NORTH and WEST)

3. Matching Directions to Positions:
- Each section of the compass rose corresponds to one of these directions. The task is to cut out the direction names and place them correctly on the compass rose.

4. Step-by-Step Solution:
- NORTH: This should be placed at the top of the compass rose.
- SOUTH: This should be placed at the bottom of the compass rose.
- EAST: This should be placed on the right side of the compass rose.
- WEST: This should be placed on the left side of the compass rose.
- NORTHEAST: This should be placed between NORTH and EAST.
- SOUTHWEST: This should be placed between SOUTH and WEST.
- SOUTHEAST: This should be placed between SOUTH and EAST.
- NORTHWEST: This should be placed between NORTH and WEST.

5. Final Arrangement:
- After cutting out the direction names, glue them onto the corresponding sections of the compass rose as follows:
- Top: NORTH
- Bottom: SOUTH
- Right: EAST
- Left: WEST
- Top-right: NORTHEAST
- Bottom-left: SOUTHWEST
- Bottom-right: SOUTHEAST
- Top-left: NORTHWEST

Final Answer:


\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ccc}
& \text{NORTH} & \\
\text{WEST} & & \text{EAST} \\
& \text{SOUTH} & \\
\end{array}
}
\]
with the intermediate directions placed accordingly.
