Compass Directions and Turns

The video tutorial explains how to use a compass rose to determine directions and calculate the degrees of turns made by individuals. It covers three examples: Mark turning from west to north, Mandy turning from south to north, and Peter turning from east to west. Each example includes a step-by-step calculation of the degrees turned and the fraction of a full turn completed.
