Follow one-step movement directions

A learner interprets a single directional instruction relative to a stated starting position and identifies the resulting location using spatial terms such as left, right, above, below, forward, and backward. The reasoning requires maintaining a reference point and orientation and distinguishing a one-step change in position from a longer route; multi-step movement plans, coordinate pairs, and formal vector descriptions are not included.

Detailed Explanation: Follow one-step movement directions

Start by finding the starting place. Then follow the direction for one step.

Example:
Sam is standing on the blue square. He moves one step to the right. Where is Sam now?

  1. Find the blue square where Sam starts.
  2. Face the same way you are facing.
  3. Move your eyes or finger one space to the right.
  4. Sam is now on the square to the right of the blue square.

So, Sam is one step right of his starting place.
