Understanding directions (North, East, South, and West) is essential for navigating and understanding maps. These directions are called cardinal directions and help us describe the location of places. Imagine a compass rose – it always points North! From there, you can find East, South, and West. Knowing these directions helps us give and follow instructions to get where we need to go.
Let's think of it like this: the sun rises in the East and sets in the West. North is usually at the top of a map, and South is at the bottom. By practicing with these directions, you'll become a super navigator! 🧭
