Routes with compass directions
You learn to follow a route with the compass directions north, east, south and west.
How to work it out
- On a map, north is at the top and south is at the bottom.
- East is to the right and west is to the left.
- Put your finger on S and count the squares in that direction for each step.
You start at S. You go 3 squares east and then 2 squares north.
- Put your finger on S.
- East is to the right: count 3 squares to the right.
- North is up: count 2 squares up.
- The letter in that place is where you end up.
