  1. Directions

  2. Remember there are the four main directions we deal with on maps or with compasses. Remember… The sun rises in the EAST and sets in the WEST. If we know where these directions are, we can quickly find NORTH and SOUTH. All good maps show NORTH.

  3. Do you remember the little phrase to help us remember North, East, South and West?

  4. NeverEatSoggyWeet-bix.

  5. Quiz 1. If the front of the classroom is NORTH, point to which direction is EAST.

  6. Quiz 2. If the front of the classroom is NORTH, stand up and face SOUTH.

  7. Quiz 3. You are currently facing SOUTH, turn 90 degrees in a clockwise motion. Which direction are you facing?

  8. Well done! Now that I am sure you have a good understanding, I’m going to put your knowledge into practice and get you to do a worksheet. Remember, all good maps show NORTH and when we are dealing with directions on maps we always start at the place mentioned after the word ‘from’. e.g. What direction is Sydney from Brisbane? We start at Brisbane.
