Step-by-step solution for: Map and directions interactive worksheet
Let's solve each question based on the map provided in the image. I'll analyze the layout and answer each one step by step.
---
- The pet shop is on the left side of the middle row.
- The grocery store is on the right side of the same row.
- Between them is the City Hall.
✔ Answer: City Hall
---
- The church is on the bottom right section of the map.
- In front of it (directly across the street) is the hospital.
✔ Answer: Hospital
---
- City Hall is in the center of the map, in the middle row.
- Directly in front of it (on the opposite side of the street) is the museum.
✔ Answer: Museum
---
- Start at the museum (top-left).
- To get to the hospital, go:
- Down 1 street (to the middle row),
- Then right along the road,
- Then down another street to the bottom-right area where the hospital is.
- But let’s count the streets crossed:
- From museum → cross 1 street to reach the intersection with City Hall.
- Then go right to the next intersection.
- Then down to the hospital.
- Actually, from the museum, you go down 2 blocks and then right 1 block.
- So, you cross 2 streets vertically and 1 horizontally.
- But the question asks: *how many streets should I take* — meaning how many segments of road?
Looking carefully:
- From museum → go south (down) 1 street → reach City Hall.
- Then go east (right) 1 street → reach the intersection near the church/hospital.
- Then go south (down) 1 more street → reach the hospital.
So, you pass through 3 street segments.
But note: the path from museum to hospital:
- South → crosses 1 street
- East → crosses 1 street
- South → crosses 1 street
So total: 3 streets.
✔ Answer: 3 streets

- The school is at the top-middle of the map.
- To the right of the school is a lake (blue body of water surrounded by trees).
✔ Answer: Lake
---
- Cafe is at the bottom-center.
- School is at the top-center.
- Path: Go up from the cafe → cross the road → go north.
- On the way up:
- First, you pass City Hall (just above the cafe).
- Then you pass Pet Shop and Grocery Store? Wait — no, not directly.
- Actually, from the cafe, going straight up:
- You go past City Hall.
- Then continue up to the intersection.
- Then go left to reach the school.
Wait — the road from the cafe goes up to the middle row, then turns left toward the school.
So:
- From cafe → go up → reach City Hall.
- Then turn left → go west → pass Pet Shop and Museum?
- But the route is: from cafe → up → to the intersection with City Hall.
- Then turn left → go west → to the school.
But wait: the school is on the top row, and the only way to get there from the cafe is:
- Up → to the intersection with City Hall.
- Then left → past City Hall (already passed), then to the museum, then to the school.
Wait — actually, the museum is to the left of the school.
So:
- From cafe → go up → to the intersection (where City Hall is).
- Then go left → pass City Hall, then pet shop, then museum, then school.
But City Hall is directly above the cafe, so you pass City Hall first.
Then, moving left, you pass Pet Shop and Museum, then reach the school.
But Pet Shop and Museum are on the same level as City Hall — so when you go left from City Hall, you go past Pet Shop, then Museum, then School.
Wait — no:
- The Pet Shop is to the left of City Hall.
- The Museum is above the Pet Shop.
- So if you go from cafe → up → to City Hall → then left → you pass Pet Shop.
- Then to go to the school, you must go up from Pet Shop → to the museum → then right → to the school.
So the correct path:
- Cafe → up → City Hall
- Then left → Pet Shop
- Then up → Museum
- Then right → School
So the buildings you pass:
- City Hall
- Pet Shop
- Museum
But do you pass all three?
Yes — assuming you take the direct route.
But the question says: "What buildings will I pass by on my way from the cafe to the school?"
So:
- From cafe → City Hall (directly above)
- Then Pet Shop (to the left)
- Then Museum (above Pet Shop)
- Then School (to the right)
But the school is not adjacent to the museum — there's a road between them.
Wait — looking again:
- The school is at the top center.
- The museum is at the top left.
- They are on the same horizontal line, but separated by a road.
- So from museum, you can go right to the school.
So yes:
- From cafe → up → City Hall
- Left → Pet Shop
- Up → Museum
- Right → School
So buildings passed: City Hall, Pet Shop, Museum
✔ Answer: City Hall, Pet Shop, Museum

4. If I'm at the museum, how many streets should I take before I reach the hospital?
- Start at the museum (top-left).
- To get to the hospital, go:
- Down 1 street (to the middle row),
- Then right along the road,
- Then down another street to the bottom-right area where the hospital is.
- But let’s count the streets crossed:
- From museum → cross 1 street to reach the intersection with City Hall.
- Then go right to the next intersection.
- Then down to the hospital.
- Actually, from the museum, you go down 2 blocks and then right 1 block.
- So, you cross 2 streets vertically and 1 horizontally.
- But the question asks: *how many streets should I take* — meaning how many segments of road?
Looking carefully:
- From museum → go south (down) 1 street → reach City Hall.
- Then go east (right) 1 street → reach the intersection near the church/hospital.
- Then go south (down) 1 more street → reach the hospital.
So, you pass through 3 street segments.
But note: the path from museum to hospital:
- South → crosses 1 street
- East → crosses 1 street
- South → crosses 1 street
So total: 3 streets.
✔ Answer: 3 streets

6. What buildings will I pass by on my way from the cafe to the school?
- Cafe is at the bottom-center.
- School is at the top-center.
- Path: Go up from the cafe → cross the road → go north.
- On the way up:
- First, you pass City Hall (just above the cafe).
- Then you pass Pet Shop and Grocery Store? Wait — no, not directly.
- Actually, from the cafe, going straight up:
- You go past City Hall.
- Then continue up to the intersection.
- Then go left to reach the school.
Wait — the road from the cafe goes up to the middle row, then turns left toward the school.
So:
- From cafe → go up → reach City Hall.
- Then turn left → go west → pass Pet Shop and Museum?
- But the route is: from cafe → up → to the intersection with City Hall.
- Then turn left → go west → to the school.
But wait: the school is on the top row, and the only way to get there from the cafe is:
- Up → to the intersection with City Hall.
- Then left → past City Hall (already passed), then to the museum, then to the school.
Wait — actually, the museum is to the left of the school.
So:
- From cafe → go up → to the intersection (where City Hall is).
- Then go left → pass City Hall, then pet shop, then museum, then school.
But City Hall is directly above the cafe, so you pass City Hall first.
Then, moving left, you pass Pet Shop and Museum, then reach the school.
But Pet Shop and Museum are on the same level as City Hall — so when you go left from City Hall, you go past Pet Shop, then Museum, then School.
Wait — no:
- The Pet Shop is to the left of City Hall.
- The Museum is above the Pet Shop.
- So if you go from cafe → up → to City Hall → then left → you pass Pet Shop.
- Then to go to the school, you must go up from Pet Shop → to the museum → then right → to the school.
So the correct path:
- Cafe → up → City Hall
- Then left → Pet Shop
- Then up → Museum
- Then right → School
So the buildings you pass:
- City Hall
- Pet Shop
- Museum
But do you pass all three?
Yes — assuming you take the direct route.
But the question says: "What buildings will I pass by on my way from the cafe to the school?"
So:
- From cafe → City Hall (directly above)
- Then Pet Shop (to the left)
- Then Museum (above Pet Shop)
- Then School (to the right)
But the school is not adjacent to the museum — there's a road between them.
Wait — looking again:
- The school is at the top center.
- The museum is at the top left.
- They are on the same horizontal line, but separated by a road.
- So from museum, you can go right to the school.
So yes:
- From cafe → up → City Hall
- Left → Pet Shop
- Up → Museum
- Right → School
So buildings passed: City Hall, Pet Shop, Museum
✔ Answer: City Hall, Pet Shop, Museum
