Overview:

A worksheet focusing on cardinal and ordinal directions, where students label a compass and describe the location of objects using directional language. Designed for middle years students.

Learning Objectives:

Identify and label the cardinal (N, E, S, W) and ordinal (NE, SE, SW, NW) directions.
Use a compass rose to describe the relative location of objects.
Develop spatial awareness and mapping skills.

How the Activity Works:

Students begin by labelling the compass rose with the correct cardinal and ordinal directions. They then complete a series of statements describing the position of objects using directional terms. For example, they might state that ‘The birds are west of the school’ or ‘The café is northwest of the car,’ reinforcing their ability to interpret and use directional language accurately.
