To solve this problem, we need to look at the map and use the compass rose (the circle with arrows) to figure out the directions.
How to use the Compass:
*
North (N) is Up ⬆️
*
South (S) is Down ⬇️
*
East (E) is Right ➡️
*
West (W) is Left ️
Let's look at each question one by one:
1. The monkey is \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ of the rhino.
* First, find the
rhino. It is in the middle of the map, near the gray rocks.
* Next, find the
monkey. It is hanging from a tree branch above the rhino.
* Since the monkey is higher up on the map than the rhino, it is to the
North.
2. The hippo is \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ of the giraffe.
* First, find the
giraffe. It is on the left side of the map, standing tall near the trees.
* Next, find the
hippo. It is swimming in the blue pond.
* If you start at the giraffe and move toward the hippo, you are moving to the right. On a map, right is
East. So, the hippo is to the East of the giraffe.
3. The tiger is \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ of the lion.
* First, find the
lion. It is near the bottom right of the map, sitting on the grass.
* Next, find the
tiger. It is also near the bottom, but to the left of the lion.
* If you start at the lion and look toward the tiger, you are looking to the left. On a map, left is
West. So, the tiger is to the West of the lion.
Final Answer:
1. North
2. East
3. West
