DIRECTIONS: Look at the four pictures. Then stand up and try the two questions.
Left and right belong to you. North belongs to the world.
One child, facing four ways. The red arrow points north in every picture.
- Face a window. Hold your left arm out. Now turn all the way round and
hold your left arm out again. Is it pointing at the same thing?
- Point north. Turn all the way round. Point north again. Did your body
turn? Did north turn?
DIRECTIONS: Label the compass rose. Then answer.
Write N, E, S and W in the four circles.
Check yours against this one.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Point your
right arm at the morning sun and you are facing north.
- The sun is coming up. You are looking straight at it. Which way are you
facing?
- You face the sunset. Which direction is behind you?
- On a map, north is at the top. If a river runs down the right-hand edge,
which side of the map is it on?
- You walk north, then turn round and walk back. Which way are you walking
now?
