Step 1: Understand the Map



We have a grid of streets:

- Main Street (top horizontal)
- Water Street (bottom horizontal)
- Happy Street (left vertical)
- Green Street (right vertical)

There are various locations marked with symbols. The Map Key tells us what each symbol means:

- 🚌 = bus stop
- ⛽ = gas station
- 🍽️ = restaurant
- 📚 = library
- 🏬 = church
- 📮 = post office
- 🏡 = Adam’s house

Also, there's a compass showing directions: North (N), East (E), South (S), West (W).

Now let’s answer each question.

---

1. What street is the 🍽️ (restaurant) on?



Look at the restaurant symbol (fork and knife). It is in the center block, between Main Street and Water Street, and between Happy Street and Green Street.

It is on Water Street because it lies directly on that horizontal road.

Answer: Water Street

---

2. There is a 🚌 (bus stop) on Main Street and ________



Look for the bus stop symbol (bus). There are two bus stops:

- One on Main Street, at the intersection with Green Street
- Another on Water Street, at the intersection with Green Street

So, the bus stop on Main Street is at the corner of Main Street and Green Street.

Answer: Green Street

3. To get to the 📮 (post office), Adam needs to go ________ on Happy Street.



First, find Adam’s house — it's the small house icon in the top-left block (northwest corner).

Now find the post office — it's the mailbox icon. It's in the bottom-left block, on Happy Street, below Adam’s house.

So, Adam is at the top of Happy Street; the post office is at the bottom.

To get from Adam’s house to the post office, he must go south on Happy Street.

Answer: south

---

4. What is on the corner of Green Street and Water Street?



Find the intersection of Green Street (vertical) and Water Street (horizontal). That’s the bottom-right corner of the map.

At that corner, we see a gas station symbol (⛽).

The two choices given are:
- Church (⛪)
- Gas station (⛽)

So, the correct one to circle is the gas station.

---

Final Answers:



1. Water Street
2. Green Street
3. south
4. Circle the gas station symbol
