This hard sheet is the toughest of the set, blending problem solving with real map reading. Four multiple-choice questions ask why maps include a compass rose, which way to walk from a fire station to a library that lies east, and what items belong on a community map. Five fill-in-the-blank questions then cover country maps, the role of the map key, and the direction that sits opposite north on a typical map.
