Understanding How to Ask for Directions Using Maps or GPS
This topic helps us learn how to ask for directions and use tools to find our way around.
What It Means or Does
- A map is a drawing that shows where places are located and how to get from one place to another.
- GPS stands for Global Positioning System. It is a tool that helps us know exactly where we are and gives us directions to where we want to go.
How We Use It in Real Life
- When we want to go to a new place, we can look at a map to see the best route to take.
- If we are using a GPS on our phone, we can enter an address and it will tell us step-by-step how to get there.
Linked Words or Tools
- A map shows places like streets, parks, and schools.
- A compass tells us which way is north, south, east, or west.
- A station is a place where buses or trains stop to pick up and drop off passengers.
- When we say left or right, we mean which way to turn when going in a direction.
