Using a compass to find directions on a map worksheet | Live ... - Free Printable

Let's solve the problem step by step based on the map provided.

Step 1: Label the compass directions

We are given a compass rose (the red star-like symbol) on the map. On most maps, North is at the top, so we can use that as a guide.

The standard compass directions are:

- N = North (top)
- S = South (bottom)
- E = East (right)
- W = West (left)

So, label the compass accordingly:

```
N
W E
S
```

Now, place these letters on the compass in the map:
- N at the top of the compass
- S at the bottom
- E on the right
- W on the left

✔ This completes Question 1.

Step 2: What place is west of Peter’s home?

First, locate Peter’s home — it’s the black house with a gray roof, located near the center-left of the map.

Now look to the west (left side) of Peter’s home.

To the west:
- There is Greenwood Forest (trees)
- And a church (red-roofed building)

But the church is directly to the southwest, and Greenwood Forest is to the west.

Looking closely:
- The church is slightly south of west.
- But Greenwood Forest is clearly to the west of Peter’s home.

Wait — actually, let's recheck.

From Peter’s home:
- Moving left (west) along Hope Road leads toward the church.
- The church is located directly west of Peter’s home.

Also, Greenwood Forest is just northwest of the church.

So, the church is west of Peter’s home.

✔ Answer to Question 2: Church

Step 3: If Peter wants to go to school, he has to go ______ along Hope Road, then ______ along Smith Street.

Let’s trace the route from Peter’s home to the school.

- Peter’s home is on Hope Road.
- The school is on Smart Street (note: likely a typo in question — it says "Smith Street", but the map says Smart Street).
- To get from Peter’s home to the school:
- He must go east along Hope Road (to the right) until he reaches Smart Street.
- Then turn north onto Smart Street to reach the school.

So:
- First: East along Hope Road
- Then: North along Smart Street

✔ Answer to Question 3:
> If Peter wants to go to school he has to go east along Hope Road, then north along Smart Street.

(Note: It's likely a typo in the question saying "Smith Street" instead of "Smart Street". Based on the map, it's Smart Street.)

✔ Final Answers:

1. Compass labeling:
- Top: N
- Bottom: S
- Right: E
- Left: W

2. What place is west of Peter’s home? → Church

3. If Peter wants to go to school he has to go east along Hope Road, then north along Smart Street.
