Let's solve the treasure hunt step by step using the map and instructions provided.
---
Step 1: Understand the Map
- The map is a grid where
each square represents 1 km.
- There’s a compass in the bottom-left corner showing directions: North, East, South, West.
- The starting point is marked with a red arrow at the
bottom-left edge of the map, near the coastline (labeled "WOST" — likely a typo for "West").
- We follow the numbered instructions to trace a route and find the treasure.

Step 2: Follow the Instructions One by One
We’ll track each movement from the starting point.
####
Starting Point: Bottom-left corner of the map (0 km, 0 km), just above the water.

1.
Go East 3 km ✔
- Move 3 squares to the right (East).
- Now at
(3 km East, 0 km North) → This is the first move shown on the map.
2.
Go North 5 km
- Move 5 squares up (North).
- Now at
(3 km East, 5 km North)
3.
Go East 2 km
- Move 2 squares right.
- Now at
(5 km East, 5 km North)
4.
Go South 2 km
- Move 2 squares down.
- Now at
(5 km East, 3 km North)
5.
Go East 3 km
- Move 3 squares right.
- Now at
(8 km East, 3 km North)
6.
Go South 1 km
- Move 1 square down.
- Now at
(8 km East, 2 km North)
7.
Go West 3 km
- Move 3 squares left.
- Now at
(5 km East, 2 km North)
8.
Go North 3 km
- Move 3 squares up.
- Now at
(5 km East, 5 km North)
9.
Go West 4 km
- Move 4 squares left.
- Now at
(1 km East, 5 km North)
10.
Go South 1 km
- Move 1 square down.
- Now at
(1 km East, 4 km North)
11.
Go East 1 km
- Move 1 square right.
- Now at
(2 km East, 4 km North)
12.
Go North 3 km
- Move 3 squares up.
- Now at
(2 km East, 7 km North)
13.
Go East 2 km
- Move 2 squares right.
- Now at
(4 km East, 7 km North)
14.
Mark a cross
- Draw an "X" at this final location.

Final Location: (4 km East, 7 km North)
Now let’s locate this on the map:
- Count
4 squares east from the left edge.
- Count
7 squares north from the bottom edge.
This spot is:
- On the
top-right portion of the island.
- Near the
large rock formation and
trees.
- Just below the
waterfall and
cave area.
Looking at the map, this area has a
small hut or cave-like structure and some trees.

✔ Answer: The Treasure is in
👉
The cave or rocky area near the top-right side of the island, at coordinates (4 km East, 7 km North).
You should mark an
"X" there.

🧭 Summary of Skills Used
- Following directional instructions (N, S, E, W)
- Using a scale (1 square = 1 km)
- Interpreting a grid map
- Tracking position through sequential movements
This activity teaches
map reading and navigation skills.
