What children learn in Level 3
- Between the cardinal directions are in-between directions, called intermediate directions.
- 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 east or west: north plus east makes northeast.
