Let's solve this step-by-step based on the image provided in the worksheet titled
"On The Farm".

🔍 Step 1: Understand the Map Layout
We are given a simple farm map with various items placed in different locations. We need to use
directions (north, south, east, west) and a compass rose (which shows N, S, E, W) to determine what is located relative to other objects.
Here’s a quick sketch of the layout based on the image:
```
Top (North)
--------------------------------------------
| Barn | Carrots | House |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| Cows | Tree | Tractor |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
--------------------------------------------
Bottom (South)
```
Now let’s identify each object and its position:
-
Barn: Top-left
-
Carrots: Top-center
-
House: Top-right
-
Cows: Bottom-left
-
Tree: Center
-
Tractor: Bottom-right
---
🧭 Compass Rose Reference:
-
N = North (top)
-
S = South (bottom)
-
E = East (right)
-
W = West (left)
---
✔ Now Solve Each Question:
---
####
1. What is north of the tractor?
- The
tractor is at the
bottom-right.
- Looking
north (up) from the tractor → that's the
house.
- So,
the house is north of the tractor.
-
Color it brown as indicated.
✔ Answer: House → Color
brown
---
####
2. What is south of the barn?
- The
barn is at the
top-left.
- Looking
south (down) from the barn → that's the
cows.
- So,
the cows are south of the barn.
-
Color it black.
✔ Answer: Cows → Color
black
---
####
3. What is east of the tree?
- The
tree is in the
center.
- Looking
east (right) from the tree → that's the
tractor.
- So,
the tractor is east of the tree.
-
Color it green.
✔ Answer: Tractor → Color
green
---
####
4. What is west of the carrots?
- The
carrots are in the
top-center.
- Looking
west (left) from the carrots → that's the
barn.
- So,
the barn is west of the carrots.
-
Color it red.
✔ Answer: Barn → Color
red
---
🎯 Bonus: Draw a farmer south of the house.
- The
house is in the
top-right.
-
South of the house means
below it, toward the bottom-right area.
- So, draw a
farmer somewhere below the house (but not overlapping the tractor).
- You can draw a stick figure or a person wearing overalls with a hat.
✔ Bonus Answer: Draw a farmer
below the house.
