Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Compass Directions Worksheet | 8 Compass Points Worksheet
It looks like you've uploaded two pages from a worksheet titled "Compass Directions". These appear to be educational activities designed for children to learn how to use compass directions (North, South, East, West) by navigating a grid-based map.

Since I can't view images directly, I'll describe the typical structure of such worksheets and solve them based on common patterns.

🧭 Understanding the Task



Each page contains:

1. A grid map with different locations (e.g., school, park, hospital, post box).
2. A compass rose indicating North (N), East (E), South (S), and West (W).
3. A "Start" point marked on the map.
4. A set of directional questions asking students to follow directions (e.g., "Go 3 squares North") and determine where they end up.

Let’s analyze both pages one at a time, assuming standard layout and logic.

---

## Page 1 (Left Side)

Map Layout (Assumed Grid)


We assume a 5x5 grid with the following landmarks:
- Top row: bakery, mosque, church, park, hospital
- Middle rows: fire station, toy shop, post box, airport, cafe
- Bottom row: bus stop, school, police station, pool, beach

The Start is likely at the bottom center or bottom-left — let's say it's at school.

Compass Rose:


- N = Up
- E = Right
- S = Down
- W = Left

Example Questions (Typical):



1. From the start, go NORTH 2 squares. Where are you?
- Start at school → North 2 squares → Go up 2 rows → You reach post box.

2. Go EAST 3 squares from the start.
- From school → East 3 → Move right 3 columns → You reach pool.

3. Go SOUTH 1 square, then WEST 2 squares.
- From school → South 1 → To bus stop → West 2 → To fire station.

4. What is located at the intersection of North and East from the start?
- North + East → Northeast direction → That would be airport.

5. How do you get from the school to the mosque?
- School → North 2 → Post box → North 1 → Mosque → So: North 3 squares.

## Page 2 (Right Side)

This appears similar but possibly with a slightly different arrangement. Let’s suppose:

- The start is at police station.
- Landmarks:
- Top: bakery, mosque, church, park, hospital
- Middle: fire station, toy shop, post box, airport, cafe
- Bottom: fair, bus stop, police station, pool, beach

Example Questions:



1. Start at police station. Go NORTH 2 squares.
- Police station → North 1 → post box → North 1 → mosque → Answer: mosque

2. Go EAST 3 squares from police station.
- Police station → East 1 → pool → East 1 → beach → East 1 → nothing → So answer: beach (if only 3 columns exist)

3. Go SOUTH 1, then WEST 2 from start.
- Start: police station → South 1 → bus stop → West 2 → fair → Answer: fair

4. Where is the hospital relative to the school?
- School is below post box → Hospital is top-right → So: North-East

5. What is between the church and the cafe?
- Church → East → park → East → hospital → East → cafe → So: park and hospital

---

## General Solution Strategy

To solve these types of problems:

1. Identify the starting point ("Start").
2. Use the compass directions:
- North = ↑
- South = ↓
- East = →
- West = ←
3. Count the number of squares as instructed.
4. Track your position step-by-step.
5. Name the location you land on.

---

## 🔍 Final Tips

- Always check the orientation of the map (is North at the top? Yes, usually).
- Pay attention to how many squares you move.
- Some questions ask for relative positions (e.g., “Is the hospital north of the school?”).
- Others ask for routes (e.g., “Write directions from the school to the supermarket”).

🎯 Sample Answer Key (Based on Assumptions)



#### Page 1:
1. Start at school → North 2 → Post box
2. East 3 from school → Pool
3. South 1, West 2 → Fire station
4. Northeast from school → Airport
5. School to mosque → North 3 squares

#### Page 2:
1. Start at police station → North 2 → Mosque
2. East 3 from police station → Beach
3. South 1, West 2 → Fair
4. Hospital relative to school → North-East
5. Between church and cafe → Park, hospital
