Compass points and directions worksheet for learning geography.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a compass rose in the center of the worksheet. A compass rose shows directions: North, South, East, West, and the four diagonal directions (Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest).

The example already filled in says “North” at the top box — that’s correct because on any standard compass, North is always at the top.

Now let’s label the rest based on where they should go around the compass:

- Top = North (already done)
- Bottom = South
- Right side = East
- Left side = West

Then the diagonals:

- Between North and East → Northeast
- Between North and West → Northwest
- Between South and East → Southeast
- Between South and West → Southwest

Looking at the blank boxes around the compass:

There are 8 boxes total — one for each direction.

From top going clockwise:

1. Top → North (example)
2. Top-right → Northeast
3. Right → East
4. Bottom-right → Southeast
5. Bottom → South
6. Bottom-left → Southwest
7. Left → West
8. Top-left → Northwest

But wait — looking at the layout of the boxes in the image (even though we’re not describing it), the positions match the standard compass layout.

So let’s assign them properly:

Top box → North (given)

Right-side boxes (from top to bottom):
→ First right box (top-right) → Northeast
→ Second right box (middle-right) → East
→ Third right box (bottom-right) → Southeast

Bottom box → South

Left-side boxes (from top to bottom):
→ First left box (top-left) → Northwest
→ Second left box (middle-left) → West
→ Third left box (bottom-left) → Southwest

Wait — actually, looking again at how the boxes are arranged visually (based on typical worksheets like this), there are:

- One box above the compass → North (done)
- Two boxes on the right side (stacked vertically) → likely East and Southeast? No — let’s think differently.

Actually, in most such worksheets, the 8 boxes are placed around the compass like this:

Top → North
Top-right → Northeast
Right → East
Bottom-right → Southeast
Bottom → South
Bottom-left → Southwest
Left → West
Top-left → Northwest

Yes — that’s the standard order.

So now, matching the word bank:

Word bank has:
East, Northwest, South, Southwest, Northeast, West, Southeast, North

We need to place each in the correct box.

Let’s list the positions with their correct answers:

1. Top box → North (already written as example)
2. Top-right box → Northeast
3. Right-middle box → East
4. Bottom-right box → Southeast
5. Bottom box → South
6. Bottom-left box → Southwest
7. Left-middle box → West
8. Top-left box → Northwest

That uses all 8 words from the bank.

Double-checking:

- North → top ✔
- South → bottom ✔
- East → right ✔
- West → left ✔
- Northeast → between North and East → top-right ✔
- Northwest → between North and West → top-left ✔
- Southeast → between South and East → bottom-right ✔
- Southwest → between South and West → bottom-left ✔

Perfect.

Final Answer:
Top box: North (already given)
Top-right box: Northeast
Right-middle box: East
Bottom-right box: Southeast
Bottom box: South
Bottom-left box: Southwest
Left-middle box: West
Top-left box: Northwest
