Working with maps
I have a compass on my
smartphone too.
A compass shows the four cardinal
points. Can you name the four
cardinal points?
Observe the compass.
Can you see that there are other
points mid-way between the four
cardinal points?
There are four points mid-way between the four cardinal points.
These are the North East, South East, South West and North West.
1. The direction between the North and the East is called the North East.
2. The direction between the South and the East is called the South East.
3. The direction between the South and the West is called the South West.
4. The direction between the North and the West is called the North West.
North East, South East, North West and South West are called the
intermediate points of a compass.
