What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students draw familiar places as if looking down from above. They put doors, rooms, and nearby landmarks in roughly the right spots, using pictures or labels to show what they mean.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student places the door, rug, and tables in the right parts of a classroom map. They can point to a route on their map and explain how to follow it.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may draw a building from the front instead of showing where things are. They may put every landmark in a row or draw a route that cannot be followed.
How to Assess It
- Give each child a blank room outline. Ask them to add the door, rug, and one table, then trace a path from the rug to the door.

Ways to Teach It
Use blocks for classroom tables and paper for the rug, then draw their positions on a sheet marked with the door.
Show a sketch of the office, library, and playground. Ask, 'What would you add so a new student could find the playground?'
Hide a paper star by the classroom sink. Give partners a simple room map and ask them to mark where the star is.
On a printed map of the school block, circle the school and the nearest corner, then draw a path between them.
