Examples of North, South, East, West in your neighborhood

📚 Quick Study Guide

🌍 Cardinal Directions: North (N), South (S), East (E), and West (W) are the four main directions. 🧭 Using a Compass: A compass helps you find these directions. The needle points to magnetic north. 🗺️ Mapping Your Neighborhood: Imagine your home as the center. What's north of your home? What's south? 📍 Landmarks: Use landmarks (parks, schools, stores) to describe locations using directions (e.g., "The park is east of my house"). 🧭 Intermediate Directions: Northeast (NE), Southeast (SE), Northwest (NW), and Southwest (SW) are in-between the cardinal directions. 💡 Tips for Remembering: Use a mnemonic like "Never Eat Shredded Wheat" (North, East, South, West).
