Let me answer each question based on the map:
1.
To go from Eddie's house to the school, you travel ______.
- Eddie's house is on First Street (top right of the map).
- The school is on Fourth Street (bottom left of the map).
- To get from Eddie's house to the school, you would travel southwest (down and to the left).
2.
The supermarket is ______ of Lisa's house.
- Lisa's house is on Fourth Street (bottom center of the map).
- The supermarket is on Third Street (center of the map, slightly to the right).
- The supermarket is north of Lisa's house.
3.
A police officer would go ______ to Davis Park.
- The police station is on Second Street (left side of the map).
- Davis Park is on First Street (top right of the map).
- A police officer would go northeast to Davis Park.
4.
Students walk ______ to the school after using the school playground.
- The school playground is located at the school (on Fourth Street, bottom left).
- Since they're already at the school when using the playground, they don't need to walk anywhere to get to the school.
- However, if they're walking from the playground to the school building, they would likely walk south (assuming the playground is north of the school building, which is typical).
- Looking at the map, the school is on Fourth Street and the playground symbol is directly next to it. Given the compass rose, if they're walking from the playground to the school, they would walk south.
5.

- Corey's house is on Third Street (left side of the map).
- The restaurant is on First Street (top right of the map).
- Corey would go northeast to eat at the restaurant.

- Eddie's house is on First Street (top right of the map).
- Davis Park is also on First Street (top right of the map, near Eddie's house).
- The playground at Davis Park is just east of Eddie's house (to the right on the same street).
- Eddie would walk east to use the Davis Park playground.
