How to read a Map

In order to know how to read a map and give directions, and how to find out where something is,you need to know how to use a compass. Most people think of a compass as having 4 points, North, South, East and West, but there is far more to a compass than you would think.

A compass is a tool that shows direction. It has a small, magnetized needle in it that swings.
The needle can swing because it is balanced on a post, or because it is floating on oil or water, sometimes it is balanced and floating at the same time.The needle swings so that one end of it is always pointing to the magnetic north pole.

The compass has four main points, or cardinal points. These are North, South East and West.
Intercardinal points are the points half way between the cardinal points. They always begin with North or South. They are Northeast, Southeast, Southwest and Northwest.

Some maps have grids on them. Can you locate where Choa Chu Kang is?
