Grade 3 · Math · Lesson 33

Design a Mini City Map

A city map uses a grid to show where places are. Streets run across (East-West) and up and down (North-South). We use shapes for buildings: rectangles for shops, triangles for parks, circles for fountains, and squares for schools. A compass rose shows the four directions: N, S, E, W.
