Step-by-step solution for: The locations worksheet
Let's solve both parts of the worksheet step by step.
---
We are given a map with various buildings and streets. We need to fill in the blanks using directional words like *next to*, *across from*, *between*, *on*, *in front of*, etc., based on the layout.
#### Map Layout:
- Main Street runs horizontally across the top.
- Central Avenue runs horizontally across the bottom.
- First Street is vertical on the left.
- Second Street is vertical on the right.
Buildings:
- Top row (Main Street): Bank, Police Station, Store
- Middle row: Post Office, Drugstore, Movie Theater, Restaurant, School, Hospital
- Bottom row (Central Avenue): Train Station, Church
Now let’s analyze each question:
---
1. The Church is ____________ of Hospital.
- The Church is directly below the Hospital (on Central Avenue), so it is below or south of the Hospital.
- But since they are on different streets and aligned vertically, we can say:
✔ The Church is below the Hospital.
Or more precisely: The Church is south of the Hospital.
But in simple terms for kids, "below" works well.
✔ Answer: below
---
2. The Bank is ____________ the Police Station.
- Both are on Main Street. The Bank is to the left of the Police Station.
- So: The Bank is next to the Police Station. OR to the left of the Police Station.
Since they are side by side, "next to" is appropriate.
✔ Answer: next to
---
3. The Movie Theater is ____________ the Drugstore.
- The Drugstore is to the left of the Movie Theater (both on the same block).
- They are adjacent — so again: next to
✔ Answer: next to
---
4. The Post office is ____________.
- This one is open-ended. We need to describe its location.
- It is located on the corner of First Street and Main Street? Wait — no.
Looking at the map:
- The Post Office is on the middle row, between the Library and the Drugstore.
- It is on First Street, and above the School.
- Also, it is next to the Drugstore and above the School.
Best answer: The Post Office is next to the Drugstore and above the School.
But since the blank is single, maybe just one phrase.
Alternatively: The Post Office is on First Street.
But perhaps better: The Post Office is between the Library and the Drugstore.
Wait — no, the Library is on the left side of First Street, not on the same block.
Actually:
- The Post Office is on the same block as the Drugstore, Movie Theater, etc.
- It is between the Library and the Drugstore? No — the Library is on a different street.
Let’s look again:
- The Post Office is on the middle row, left side.
- To its left is nothing — but it's connected to the School below it.
- To its right is the Drugstore.
So: The Post Office is next to the Drugstore.
But that was already used.
Alternatively: The Post Office is above the School.
Yes! The School is directly below the Post Office.
✔ Answer: above the School
---
5. The Library is ____________.
- The Library is on the left side, on First Street, on the middle block.
- It is on First Street.
- It is next to the School? No — School is below it.
- Actually, it's above the Train Station?
No — the Train Station is on Central Avenue.
Wait: The Library is on the top-left block.
It is on First Street, and next to nothing on the same level? Wait — the building to its right is empty?
Looking closely:
- The Library is on the left side, on the second row (middle), on First Street.
- Below it is nothing — but the Train Station is further down.
- Actually, the Library is above the Train Station? No — the Train Station is on Central Avenue, and the Library is on the second row.
Wait — let's count rows:
- Top row: Bank, Police Station, Store
- Middle row: Post Office, Drugstore, Movie Theater, Restaurant, School, Hospital
- Bottom row: Train Station, Church
But the Library is on the left, on the middle row — so same level as Post Office.
So the Library is on First Street, and it's on the middle row, left side.
Below it: nothing — but the Train Station is on Central Avenue, which is lower.
So the Library is above the Train Station? Not directly.
Actually, the Library is on the same horizontal line as the Post Office, Drugstore, etc.
But the Train Station is on Central Avenue, which is below the middle row.
So yes: The Library is above the Train Station.
But they are not aligned.
Better: The Library is on First Street.
Or: The Library is next to the Post Office? No — there's space between them.
Wait — the map shows:
- On the left side:
- Top: empty
- Middle: LIBRARY
- Bottom: empty (but Train Station is on Central Avenue)
But the Train Station is on Central Avenue, and the Library is above it? Yes, vertically.
But not directly.
Perhaps: The Library is on First Street.
That's safe.
Alternatively: The Library is between the Post Office and the School? No — not aligned.
Wait — the Post Office is on the same row as the Library? Let's see:
- The Library is on the left, on the middle row, on First Street.
- The Post Office is on the middle row, but to the right of the Library?
- But the map shows:
- Left side: LIBRARY (green)
- Then: POST OFFICE (brown) — so yes, they are on the same row!
But are they adjacent? Is there a wall or space?
Looking at the map:
- The LIBRARY is on the far left of the middle row.
- Then comes the POST OFFICE — so yes, they are next to each other.
So: The Library is next to the Post Office.
Yes!
✔ Answer: next to the Post Office
---
6. The School is ____________ the restaurant.
- The School is on the left side of the middle row.
- The Restaurant is on the right side of the middle row.
- Are they next to each other? No — there's the Drugstore and Movie Theater in between.
But the School is to the left of the Restaurant.
But not directly adjacent.
However, they are on the same row.
So: The School is to the left of the Restaurant.
But better: The School is next to the Drugstore? Yes — School is left of Drugstore.
But the question asks about School and Restaurant.
So: The School is to the left of the Restaurant.
But since they are not adjacent, maybe on the same side?
Wait — actually, looking at the map:
- From left to right on the middle row:
- Post Office
- Drugstore
- Movie Theater
- Restaurant
- School? Wait — no!
Wait — this is confusing.
Let me re-express the map clearly:
Rows:
- Top Row (Main Street):
- [Bank] [Police Station] [Store]
- Middle Row:
- [LIBRARY] [POST OFFICE] [DRUGSTORE] [MOVIE THEATER] [RESTAURANT] [SCHOOL] [HOSPITAL]
Wait — no. Looking at the image:
- The LIBRARY is on the left, on the middle row, but it's separate from the others.
- Then:
- [POST OFFICE]
- [DRUGSTORE]
- [MOVIE THEATER]
- [RESTAURANT]
- [SCHOOL]
- [HOSPITAL]
And SCHOOL is to the left of HOSPITAL, and RESTAURANT is to the left of SCHOOL?
Wait — let's check positions:
From left to right on the middle row:
1. POST OFFICE
2. DRUGSTORE
3. MOVIE THEATER
4. RESTAURANT
5. SCHOOL
6. HOSPITAL
Wait — but the SCHOOL is shown below the POST OFFICE and DRUGSTORE?
No — the map shows:
- The SCHOOL is below the POST OFFICE and DRUGSTORE? No — it's on the same row.
Wait — actually, looking at the map:
- The SCHOOL is on the same row as the POST OFFICE, but below it? No.
Wait — the POST OFFICE is on the middle row, and SCHOOL is directly below it?
No — the SCHOOL is on the same row as the POST OFFICE.
But the TRAIN STATION is on the bottom row.
Wait — here's the key:
- The SCHOOL is on the middle row, and to the right of the POST OFFICE.
- The RESTAURANT is to the right of the MOVIE THEATER.
- The SCHOOL is to the right of the RESTAURANT.
So order from left to right:
- POST OFFICE → DRUGSTORE → MOVIE THEATER → RESTAURANT → SCHOOL → HOSPITAL
Yes! So SCHOOL is to the right of the RESTAURANT.
So: The School is to the right of the Restaurant.
But also: The School is next to the Restaurant.
Are they adjacent? Yes — only one block apart.
So: The School is next to the Restaurant.
✔ Answer: next to

7. The Drugstore is ____________ Post Office and Movie Theater.
- The Drugstore is between the Post Office and the Movie Theater.
Yes — it's in the middle.
✔ Answer: between
---
1. The Church is below the Hospital.
