Overview:

This worksheet focuses on using cardinal directions to navigate a shopping centre. Students will use a map of the shopping centre and directional language to answer questions about shop locations and movements. Designed for middle years students.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand and use cardinal (N, E, S, W) directions.
  • Apply directional language to describe locations and movements.
  • Develop spatial awareness and practice using maps for navigation.

How the Activity Works:

Students will first answer questions about the shopping centre map, identifying the locations of shops using cardinal directions. They will then complete sentences using the correct directional terms and describe the path someone takes in the shopping centre using the provided directional language. This activity reinforces the use of map skills and directional vocabulary in a practical context.
