Navigation skills help us learn about geography in Year 1 at Gymnasium in some important ways:
Understanding Directions: First, students learn about directions like north, south, east, and west. They also learn about in-between directions like northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest. This helps them know where they are in the world.
Practical Application: Students get to use maps that have scales. This means they can practice finding their way from one place to another. This activity really helps them understand space better.
Example: For instance, if they want to visit a friend's house that is northeast of their own, they learn how to find that direction on the map.
When students practice navigating, it makes them feel more confident and curious about the world around them!
