Worksheet Description

The “Giving Directions” worksheet provides a visual representation of a street named Fountain Drive, with building numbers displayed on both sides of the street. The task for the student is to write directions for how to get from 22 Fountain Drive to a book store, which is depicted by an icon and is one of the buildings on the street. The buildings are evenly spaced and sequentially numbered, which suggests a straightforward navigational exercise. Lines are provided below the map for students to write their set of directions, guiding them to think about the spatial layout and the best route.

This worksheet is meant to teach students how to interpret a simple map and give clear directions from one point to another. It encourages them to understand the concept of street addresses and how they are ordered, which is crucial for spatial reasoning. The activity also promotes the development of logical thinking as students must decide the most direct or appropriate path to their destination. Additionally, this exercise can help enhance students’ ability to communicate effectively by writing concise and clear instructions for navigation.
