This worksheet challenges students to use an 8-point compass and a map key to answer questions about a town map, enhancing their navigation and map-reading skills. Designed for students in the middle and upper years.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn to use an 8-point compass (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) for navigation.
  • Interpret a map key to identify landmarks and locations.
  • Develop spatial reasoning and practical geography skills.
