Map Direction & Distance

Starter: Make a list of things you would use a map for.

L.O: Identify directions on maps of varying scales – Local, national, global.

Direction – Rose Compass When using directions, we stick to the 4

main cardinals: North East South West

There are many different ways of remembering the order – Never Eat Sour Worms…

Direction – Rose Compass

Things aren’t always in a direct line following these cardinals, so we also have inter-cardinals: NE SE SW NW

Direction – Compass Rose Finally we also have sub-

cardinals for everything that falls between the lines: To find the sub-cardinal, first name

the nearest cardinal point – NESW Then locate the nearest inter-

cardinal – NE SE SW NW Put it together – eg. Nearest

cardinal is North, nearest sub-cardinal is North East. Answer is North North East (NNE).
