Navigating Maps and Directions with Fun Activities

The video tutorial introduces second-grade students to maps and directions. It covers the four cardinal directions (north, east, south, west) and the four intermediate directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest). Students learn how to use these directions in real-world scenarios, how to read a compass, and understand map symbols. The lesson includes a song to help memorize directions and an interactive activity where students physically move in the classroom to practice using directions. The session concludes with a fun treasure hunt to reinforce the concepts learned.
