Introduction to True Bearing
Students are introduced to true bearing as a method of describing directions using angles measured clockwise from the north. Initially, they learn to read and interpret bearings in simple contexts. By Year 5, they use true bearings in navigation, mapping, and geographical applications, understanding their practical importance in various fields.
Navigating Using True Bearing
Students begin with basic concepts of bearings and directions, applying these to simple navigation tasks. They progress to using true bearings in more complex navigation scenarios, including outdoor education and geography. By Year 5, they proficiently use true bearings for precise navigation and orienteering, applying these skills in real-world exploration and geographic information systems (GIS).
Practical Applications of True Bearing
Students learn to use true bearing in practical navigation tasks, such as orienteering, sailing, or hiking. They apply bearings to plan routes and understand geographical layouts. By Year 5, students use true bearings in more sophisticated contexts, including aviation, maritime navigation, and in the use of geographic information systems (GIS).
