Note for Parents & Teachers
This follows the NCERT Class 5 chapter "Maps and Locations". The Sun rises in the East. Facing East, North is on your left and South is on your right. A point on a grid is written as (steps east, steps north), so (4, 1) is not the same as (1, 4). A map key explains what each symbol stands for.
