What children learn in Level 4
- Between the four cardinal directions are in-between directions. You can see them on this compass rose.
- Northeast is between north and east: up and to the right. Northwest is up and to the left.
- Southeast is down and to the right. Southwest is down and to the left.
- To name one, say north or south first. Then add east or west. North and east make northeast!
