Let's solve each question step by step using the map and the Map Key provided.

---

Step 1: Understand the Map



- The map shows a grid of streets:
- Main Street (top horizontal)
- Water Street (bottom horizontal)
- Happy Street (left vertical)
- Green Street (right vertical)

- The Map Key tells us what each symbol means:
- 🚌 = bus stop
- ⛽ = gas station
- 🍽️ = restaurant
- 📚 = library
- 🏬 = church
- 📬 = post office
- 🏡 = Adam’s house

---

Question 1: What street is the 🍽️ on?



- Look for the restaurant symbol (fork and knife).
- It is located in the center block, between Main Street and Water Street, and between Happy Street and Green Street.
- Since it's between Main and Water Streets, it's on Water Street (the lower one), but actually, it's centered — so it's on Water Street.

Answer: Water Street

---

Question 2: There is a 🚌 on Main Street and ________



- Find the bus stop symbol (school bus).
- There are two bus stops:
- One on Main Street, at the intersection with Green Street
- One on Water Street, at the intersection with Green Street

So, the bus stop on Main Street is at the corner of Green Street.

Answer: Green Street

---

Question 3: To get to the 📬 Adam needs to go ________ on Happy Street.



- First, find Adam’s house (🏠) — it's in the top-left block, on Main Street, at the corner of Happy Street.
- Now, find the post office (📬). It’s in the bottom-left block, on Water Street, at the corner of Happy Street.

So, Adam is at the north end of Happy Street (top), and the post office is at the south end of Happy Street (bottom).

To get from his house to the post office, he must travel south on Happy Street.

Answer: south

---

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



- Look at the intersection of Green Street and Water Street (bottom-right corner).
- At that corner, there is a gas station (⛽).

Now, choose between the two options:
- Church (🕌)
- Gas station (⛽)

Correct answer: Circle the gas station (⛽)

---

Final Answers:



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