This easy-level sheet zooms in on the compass rose and the four main directions. Children sort words like north, south, east, west, happy, and purple into Direction on a Compass Rose or Not a Direction. Next, five fill-in-the-blank questions ask about opposite directions and how many directions a compass rose shows. Four true-or-false statements then test whether second graders can confidently say which directions are opposites and what a compass rose is for.
