Worksheet Description

The “Giving Sequenced Directions” worksheet is a map-reading and direction-giving exercise designed to help students practice navigating from one location to another. The worksheet displays a simplified map of a campus with labeled buildings and streets, such as the Library, Dormitories, Science Building, Stadium, Park, and Student Union. Students are tasked with writing directions for three different routes: from the Library to the Stadium, from the Dormitories to the Science Building, and from the Park to the Student Union. The directions are to be written on the back of the worksheet, prompting students to visualize and sequence their paths accurately.

This worksheet teaches students how to interpret a map and articulate clear, sequenced directions from one point to another. It helps in developing spatial awareness and the ability to translate a visual representation of space into verbal instructions. By writing the directions, students practice using sequence words and phrases that are crucial for giving coherent directions, such as ‘first’, ‘next’, and ‘finally’. Moreover, this exercise can enhance problem-solving skills as students determine the most efficient routes between locations.
