Oklahoma Academic Standard 2. The student will demonstrate knowledge of basic geographic concepts.

Objective 2.2  Identify cardinal directions and use them to identify specific locations on a map.

In a Nutshell

It is important for students to explain why cardinal directions are indicated on maps and how they can help interpret the information on a map. Students should be asked to describe how cardinal directions are used in real life to navigate new places, as well.

Teacher Action 

Student Action 

  • Provide opportunities for students to examine and draw conclusions regarding geographic information about the students’ own community. 

  • Ask and answer geographic questions using geographic information and the application of cardinal directions about specific locations on a map. 

Key Concepts 

Misconceptions 

  • purpose and use of cardinal directions of north, south, east and west 

  • basic map-reading skills using cardinal directions

  • description of place location and routes using cardinal directions 

  • Some students' families may rely heavily on GPS to navigate new areas, therefore, using actual map skills and understanding concepts such as cardinal directions, may be unfamiliar.

  • Some students may mistakenly assume that the top of every map indicates north.
