• Pilots and sailors use compasses to find their way.

• You can use directions to describe your school’s location from your house.

Learning Outcomes:

Students will be able to

• Label the cardinal and intermediate directions on a compass rose.

• Demonstrate the use of directions to describe the location of objects or places (e.g.,
“The library is east of the classroom.”).

• Follow directional instructions (e.g., “Take two steps north, then turn west.”).

• Create a simple map with directional indicators.
