Map Skills - Calculating Bearings in a Geography Examination

In this video we examine how to use a protractor to calculate the bearing of two points on an OS map. I explain how to use north line and connect the points and then measure the angle of direction. This skill is essential for practical geography examinations such as the GCSE paper.

I recommended to everyone who regularly needs to take bearings from a map to buy and use a full 360° protractor. It's so easy.

[Staynknownwver]

Thank you! I now have a higher change of take passing my test! Geography is my 2nd worst subject after science

[fruit-loops]

Some comments say that the north line must be on the letter after ‘from’... that sounds right but then I also seem to remember that ‘of’ can also indicate the starting point. I’m confused now

[thandiswamabuza]

Thank you... you just made bearings a lot easier for me

[jazzkoh]

im dying after teacher ask me to remember what this guy said

[nickst]

at 3:28, the bearing to A FROM B, i think is wrong. Shouldn't you measure FROM B?

[rebekahmatekase-shdi]

Thank you sir this was very clear and straight forward.
