I’ve used this resource with my 3rd graders, and it has been a fantastic addition to our learning! The materials are well-organized, visually appealing, and align perfectly with what my students need. I love how easy it is to implement — whether for whole group instruction, small group work, or independent practice.

I like to review the compass rose with my 6th graders at the beginning of the school year. This resource helped me to assess student understanding of the cardinal and intermediate directons. We first labeled the compass rose together. Later, I used the resource to quiz students. This is a simple, yet effective, resource!

Great resource! My students were struggling to remember directions after the long summer- I was in a bind, I didn't think they would need this kind of reminder. =) Thankfully, this resource was ready to go and I was able to print and use it immediately with my struggling students. Thank you for making this resource so easy to use.
