What to Focus On

  • Eight primary directions: N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE, SW
  • Cardinal directions are 90° apart
  • Intermediate directions are at 45° angles

  • Clockwise: N → E → S → W → N
  • Anticlockwise: N → W → S → E → N
  • Each cardinal direction is 90° from the next

  • Always start with North pointing upward
  • Mark starting point and trace movements step by step
  • Use letters to label each point in sequence

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When someone turns 'right' or 'left', it always means 90 degrees

Clockwise and anti-clockwise movements are the same as right and left turns

In distance problems, you can simply add all the distances traveled to get the final distance from start
