To solve this problem, we need to look at the map and use the compass rose (the arrow with N, S, E, W) to figure out directions.
Step 1: Understand the Directions
-
North (N) is Up.
-
South (S) is Down.
-
East (E) is Right.
-
West (W) is Left.
Step 2: Solve Each Sentence
1.
"Bob’s home is to the _______ of the barn."
- Find the Barn (it looks like a garage with an X). It is in the top right area.
- Find Bob’s Home (it has a face next to it). It is below the barn.
- Since Bob’s home is *below* the barn, the direction is
South.
2.
"The factory is to the _______ of the forest."
- Find the Forest (a group of trees). It is on the left side, middle row.
- Find the Factory (buildings with smoke). It is in the top left corner.
- The factory is *above* the forest. So, the direction is
North.
3.
"The courthouse is to the _______ of the pond."
- Find the Pond (wavy water lines). It is at the bottom middle.
- Find the Courthouse (building with a flag). It is above the pond.
- Since the courthouse is *above* the pond, the direction is
North.
4.
"The forest is to the _______ of the courthouse."
- Find the Courthouse (middle of the map).
- Find the Forest (left side of the map).
- To go from the courthouse to the forest, you move to the *left*.
- Left is
West.
Final Answer:
Bob’s home is to the
South of the barn.
The factory is to the
North of the forest.
The courthouse is to the
North of the pond.
The forest is to the
West of the courthouse.
