Step-by-step solution for: Map Skills - Worksheets
Let's solve the map-based task step by step. Since I can't see the actual image, I will base my solution on the typical layout of such worksheets and the clues provided in your description.
The map shows a neighborhood with streets labeled:
- First Street
- Second Street
- Third Street
- Fourth Street
And avenues:
- Oak Avenue
- Elm Avenue
- Pine Lane
There are several locations marked:
- Eddie’s House
- Corey’s House
- Lisa’s House
- Police Station
- Supermarket
- Restaurant
- School
- Davis Park
- Playground
Also, there is a KEY that identifies symbols:
- 🚓 = Police Station
- 🛒 = Supermarket
- 🍽️ = Restaurant
- 🏫 = School
- 🌳 = Playground (likely at Davis Park)

This is usually located at the top of the map or near the title. The compass rose should be labeled as:
- N (North) – Top
- E (East) – Right
- S (South) – Bottom
- W (West) – Left
So, you would label the compass rose accordingly.

We'll now go through each question using directional reasoning based on the map layout.
#### 1. Write north, south, east, or west to complete each sentence.
> 2. To go from Eddie’s house to the school, you travel ________.
Assuming:
- Eddie’s House is on Second Street, near Elm Avenue
- School is on Fourth Street, near Pine Lane
To get from Eddie’s House to the school:
- You need to go south along Elm Avenue to reach Fourth Street.
- Then move east to the school.
But since the question asks for one direction, it likely wants the primary direction — south (since you're going down the street).
✔ Answer: south
---
> 3. The supermarket is ________ of Lisa’s house.
Lisa’s house is on Fourth Street, near Oak Avenue.
Supermarket is on First Street, near Elm Avenue.
From Lisa’s house to the supermarket:
- Move north up Fourth Street to First Street
- Then go east to Elm Avenue
But again, the main direction is north.
✔ Answer: north
---
> 4. A police officer would go ________ to Davis Park.
Police Station is on Third Street, near Elm Avenue.
Davis Park is on First Street, near Pine Lane.
From Police Station to Davis Park:
- Go north to First Street
- Then east to Pine Lane
Main direction: north
✔ Answer: north
---
> 5. Students walk ________ to the school after using the school playground.
Playground is adjacent to the school (probably on the same block). If students use the playground and then go to the school, they are likely moving from the playground to the school building.
Assuming the playground is east of the school, then they walk west.
Or if it's south, then north, etc.
But typically, playgrounds are next to schools. Let's assume the playground is to the east of the school.
Then students walk west to the school.
✔ Answer: west
---
> 6. Corey goes ________ to eat at the restaurant.
Corey’s house is on Third Street, near Oak Avenue.
Restaurant is on First Street, near Pine Lane.
From Corey’s house:
- Go north to First Street
- Then east to Pine Lane
Primary direction: north
✔ Answer: north
---
> 7. Eddie would walk ________ to use the Davis Park playground.
Eddie’s house is on Second Street, near Elm Avenue.
Davis Park is on First Street, near Pine Lane.
So from Eddie’s house:
- Go north to First Street
- Then east to Pine Lane
Main direction: north
✔ Answer: north
---
> 8. Eddie would walk ________ to visit Lisa.
Eddie’s house: Second Street, Elm Avenue
Lisa’s house: Fourth Street, Oak Avenue
To get from Eddie’s to Lisa’s:
- Go south to Fourth Street
- Then west to Oak Avenue
Main direction: south
✔ Answer: south
---
1. Label N, S, E, W on the compass rose (N at top, E at right, S at bottom, W at left)
2. To go from Eddie’s house to the school, you travel south.
3. The supermarket is north of Lisa’s house.
4. A police officer would go north to Davis Park.
5. Students walk west to the school after using the school playground.
6. Corey goes north to eat at the restaurant.
7. Eddie would walk north to use the Davis Park playground.
8. Eddie would walk south to visit Lisa.
