It looks like you've uploaded a
compass rose worksheet designed for students to learn cardinal directions. Here's how to solve and explain the task:
---
🌍 Task Overview:
The worksheet asks students to:
1.
Color the compass rose (though no specific colors are mentioned, this is likely just a visual aid).
2.
Cut out the labels (N, E, S, W) and
paste them in the correct places on the compass rose.
3. Match the abbreviations with their full names.

✔ Step-by-Step Solution:
#### 1.
Identify the Cardinal Directions
The four main directions on a compass rose are:
-
N = North
-
E = East
-
S = South
-
W = West
These are placed at the
cardinal points of the compass:
-
North (N) → Top of the compass
-
East (E) → Right side
-
South (S) → Bottom
-
West (W) → Left side
#### 2.
Place the Labels Correctly
On the worksheet, there are four blank squares around the compass rose:
-
Top square →
N (North)
-
Right square →
E (East)
-
Bottom square →
S (South)
-
Left square →
W (West)
So, cut out the letters
N, E, S, W from the bottom of the page and paste them into the correct squares.
#### 3.
Match Abbreviations to Full Names
At the bottom of the page, you see:
```
E W N S
East West North South
```
You need to match each abbreviation with its full name:
-
E → East
-
W → West
-
N → North
-
S → South
This helps reinforce learning the direction names.

Cut out the letters
E, W, N, S.
2.
Paste them in the correct boxes:
-
N → Top box
-
E → Right box
-
S → Bottom box
-
W → Left box
3.
Draw lines or write to match:
-
E → East
-
W → West
-
N → North
-
S → South
