• understand the relationship between bearings and compass points,
• read off a simple bearing in a diagram,
• read off a simple bearing in a diagram by subtracting a given angle from ,
• distinguish the bearing of from from the bearing of from ,
• use the bearing of from to work out the bearing of from ,
• solve more complex problems, such as interpreting a word problem to identify a correct bearing or filling in missing angles in a diagram and using them to work out a bearing.
