The document discusses bearings and compass directions. It defines the four main cardinal directions on a compass as North, East, South, and West. It explains that bearings are written as three-digit numbers between 000 and 360 degrees, representing the angle measured clockwise from North to the line between two points. Bearings can also be described as the number of degrees a point lies east or west of north. The learning objective is for students to understand and label the eight compass directions.

Student will be able to
Understand and use draw and label the the concept of bearing eight compass direction Compass It is used to find a DIRECTION or BEARING The 4 main direction of a compass are known as cardinal points: North (N) representing 0 or 360 East (E) representing 90 South (S) representing 180 West (W) representing 270 Sometimes, the half-cardinal points of: North-east (NE) North-west (NW) South-east (SE) South-west (SW) Bearing Bearing are written in three-digit form (000 to 360) Bearing of a point from another point is the angle in degrees measure in a clockwise direction from the north to the line joining the two points. Direction The conventional bearing of a point is stated as the number of degrees east or west of the north-south line We will refer to the conventional bearing simply as the direction.
