Task goals
- Name compass directions that are opposite, halfway between, or reached by a stated turn from a given direction.
- Convert between an 8-point compass direction and its three-figure bearing, in both directions.
- Read a three-figure bearing from a bearing diagram (North line, ray, and clockwise angle).
- Calculate the reverse bearing of a given bearing, and the number of degrees turned clockwise between two bearings.
- Reason informally about direction and bearing in multi-step or wrap-around (past 000/360 degrees) situations.
