Let's solve the problem step by step using the map of
Perry Park and the compass rose (which shows North, South, East, and West).
---
Map Overview:
- The
gate is at the top center (entrance to the park).
- The
compass rose is in the bottom right corner:
-
N = North (up)
-
S = South (down)
-
E = East (right)
-
W = West (left)

Question 1: Start at the gate and go east. What do you see?
- Start at the
gate (top center).
- Go
east → move to the
right.
- Moving east from the gate leads directly to the
garden (with a sunflower).
✔ Answer: You see the
garden.

Question 2: Go to the swings. In which direction are they?
- The
swings are on the
far right side of the park.
- From the
gate, the swings are to the
east.
- But let’s be precise: if you're at the gate, the swings are
to the east.
✔ Answer: They are to the
east.

Question 3: Next you come to a fountain. In which direction did you walk?
- We need to figure out how you get from the
swings to the
fountain.
- The
fountain is on the
left side of the park, near the ice skating rink.
- To go from the
swings (on the far right) to the
fountain (on the far left), you must walk
west.
✔ Answer: You walked
west.

Question 4: If you go north, what will you see?
- This question depends on your current location. Since the previous step ended at the
fountain, we assume you're at the fountain.
- From the
fountain, going
north means moving
up on the map.
- Going north from the fountain leads to the
ice skating rink (which is just above the fountain).
✔ Answer: You will see the
ice skating rink.

✔ Final Answers:
1.
Garden
2.
East
3.
West
4.
Ice skating rink

Tip for Students: Always use the compass rose to determine directions. North is up, South is down, East is right, and West is left. Use a pencil to trace your path on the map to help visualize the directions!
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of maps and directions worksheet.
