It shows how this neighborhood would appear to a bird looking down while flying over it. Notice the key on the right side of the map. The key can help you find different places on the map. Today you will use the key to read the map below and answer questions.

Use a piece of paper to write your answers to the following questions:1. Which is closer to the house: the store or the garden?2. Imagine you live in the house. What would you pass on your way to school if you took the
