Step-by-step solution for: Map Skills - Worksheets
I'll solve this map reading problem step by step. Let me first examine the image closely to understand the layout and then answer each question.
Looking at the map, I can see:
- It's a neighborhood map with streets (First, Second, Third, Fourth) running horizontally and avenues (Oak, Elm, Birch) running vertically
- There are various locations marked: houses (Eddie's, Corey's, Lisa's), a school, police station, supermarket, restaurant, and Davis Park
- A compass rose is shown in the bottom left corner indicating North is up, South is down, East is right, and West is left
- There's a key explaining the symbols for different locations
Now I'll answer each question one by one:
1. Label N, S, E, and W on the compass rose.
- Based on the compass rose in the bottom left, North (N) should be labeled at the top, South (S) at the bottom, East (E) on the right, and West (W) on the left.
2. To go from Eddie's house to the school, you travel ______.
- Eddie's house is located at the intersection of First Street and Oak Avenue.
- The school is located at the intersection of Third Street and Birch Avenue.
- To get from Eddie's house to the school, you would need to go south (down) from First Street to Third Street, and east (right) from Oak Avenue to Birch Avenue.
- So the answer is "south and east".
3. The supermarket is ______ of Lisa's house.
- Lisa's house is at the intersection of Fourth Street and Elm Avenue.
- The supermarket is at the intersection of Third Street and Birch Avenue.
- From Lisa's house, you would go north (up) to Third Street and east (right) to Birch Avenue to reach the supermarket.
- So the supermarket is "north and east" of Lisa's house.
4. A police officer would go ______ to Davis Park.
- The police station is at the intersection of Second Street and Oak Avenue.
- Davis Park is at the intersection of First Street and Birch Avenue.
- From the police station, you would go north (up) to First Street and east (right) to Birch Avenue to reach Davis Park.
- So the answer is "north and east".
5. Students walk ______ to the school after using the school playground.
- The school playground is located at the school itself (Third Street and Birch Avenue).
- Since they're already at the school after using the playground, they don't need to walk anywhere.
- However, if we interpret this as walking to the school from the playground (which is part of the school), the answer might be "to the school" or simply that they don't need to walk anywhere.
- Given the context, I believe the intended answer is that they walk "to the school" (though they're already there).
6. Corey goes ______ to eat at the restaurant.
- Corey's house is at the intersection of Third Street and Oak Avenue.
- The restaurant is at the intersection of Fourth Street and Birch Avenue.
- From Corey's house, you would go south (down) to Fourth Street and east (right) to Birch Avenue to reach the restaurant.
- So the answer is "south and east".
7. Eddie would walk ______ to use the Davis Park playground.
- Eddie's house is at the intersection of First Street and Oak Avenue.
- Davis Park is at the intersection of First Street and Birch Avenue.
- From Eddie's house, you would go east (right) along First Street to Birch Avenue to reach Davis Park.
- So the answer is "east".
8. Eddie would walk ______ to visit Lisa.
- Eddie's house is at the intersection of First Street and Oak Avenue.
- Lisa's house is at the intersection of Fourth Street and Elm Avenue.
- From Eddie's house, you would go south (down) to Fourth Street and east (right) to Elm Avenue to reach Lisa's house.
- So the answer is "south and east".
Let me now provide the final answers:
1. N (top), S (bottom), E (right), W (left)
2. south and east
3. north and east
4. north and east
5. to the school (or possibly "nowhere" since they're already there)
6. south and east
7. east
8. south and east
