Direction sense questions ask a child to follow turns and movements and work out which way someone is facing or where they've ended up. In Class 3 the questions usually use the four main directions and one or two left or right turns. The trick is to remember that "left" and "right" depend on which way you're facing.
What your child should know
- The Sun rises in the East and sets in the West.
- Facing North, East is on your right and West is on your left.
- Turning around (180°) means facing the opposite direction.
- Draw the path on paper. It solves almost every direction question.
