The task in the image is a map-based activity where you are asked to
trace a path from the fire engine to the burning house. This appears to be a simple maze or route-finding exercise, likely designed for young children to practice spatial reasoning and following directions.
Let’s analyze the map step by step:
Map Layout:
- The
fire engine is located at the
top left, on
Main Street, near the
north (N) side of the map.
- The
burning house is at the
bottom right, on
New Street, near the
south (S) side.
- The streets include:
- Main Street
- Maple Street
- Green Road
- Farm Road
- Country Way
- Crow Road
- Oak Lane
- New Street
- There's a
Green Park in the center, which seems to block direct paths.
---
Goal:
Trace a continuous path from the fire engine to the burning house, avoiding obstacles (like the park), using only the roads shown.
---
Step-by-step Path:
1. Start at the
fire engine on
Main Street.
2. Go
right along Main Street to the intersection with
Maple Street.
3. Turn
down onto Maple Street.
4. Continue down Maple Street until it meets
Farm Road.
5. Turn
right onto Farm Road.
6. Follow Farm Road until it connects with
Country Way.
7. Turn
left onto Country Way.
8. Continue on Country Way until it reaches
Crow Road.
9. Turn
right onto Crow Road.
10. Follow Crow Road down to
Oak Lane.
11. Turn
right onto Oak Lane.
12. Proceed to
New Street.
13. Turn
right onto New Street.
14. Arrive at the
burning house.
Alternatively, there might be a shorter route:
- From
Main Street → Maple Street → Green Road → Country Way → Crow Road → Oak Lane → New Street.
But note:
Green Road curves around the
Green Park, so we must ensure the path avoids going into the park.
Looking closely:
- From
Maple Street, you can go
down to Green Road (which goes around the park).
- Then
follow Green Road to
Country Way.
- Then continue as above.
So the
correct path should be:
>
Fire Engine → Main Street → Maple Street → Green Road → Country Way → Crow Road → Oak Lane → New Street → Burning House
This path uses only the roads and avoids the park.
---
Final Answer:
✔ Trace the path starting from the fire engine on Main Street, go down Maple Street, then take Green Road around the park, continue on Country Way, then Crow Road, Oak Lane, and finally New Street to reach the burning house.
This is the shortest and safest route that follows the roads and avoids the park.
