From KOSM 2006 at Quality Hotel

1. Chapter 8 : Bearing
8.1 Students will be able to :
1) Draw and label the eight main compass
directions.
S
W E
N

2. 2) Draw a diagram of a point which shows the
direction of B relative to another point A given
the
bearing of B from A.
Example : -
Given that the bearing of B from A is 065º. Draw a
diagram to show the bearing of B from A.
A

3. Step 1:
Draw the north direction at point A.
Step 2:
Use a protractor to measure the angle 65º
clock-wise from the north direction. Label
the point marked as B.
Step 3:
Draw a straight line from A to B.

4. 3 ) State the bearing of point A from point B given the
bearing of point B from point A.
Example :
Bearing of B
from A
Diagram Bearing of A
from B
167º
A
N

5. Step 1 : Sketch the bearing of B from A
Step 2 : Draw another north direction at
point B parallel to the north
direction at point A
Step 3: Find the bearing of point A from
point B using the concept of
lines and angles

6. Reinforcement Activity
Students will be able to determine the bearing of one place from
another from the map
Step 1 : Students are divided into groups of five. Each group is
given a map of Malaysia
Step 2 : Students are told to identify two places on the map, for
example Kuala Lumpur and Taman Negara
Step 3 : Students use a protractor to find the bearing of Taman
Negara from Kuala Lumpur and vice-versa, applying the concept of
bearing they had just learned
