the four cardinal directions with 100% accuracy.
State/District, Common Core
3.3 Use cardinal directions, map scales, legends, titles, and longitude and latitude to
locate major cities and countries in the world.
ISTE Standard
3. Research and Information Fluency: Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate,
and use information.
b. Locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a

Cardinal directions are sometimes written as N,
S, E, and W.

What are intermediate directions?
• Notice the spikes between the cardinal directions
on the compass rose. These show the intermediate
directions, or in-between directions.
• The intermediate directions are northeast,
