Measuring Grid Bearing

Sharing how I use the simulation (Geogebra) to teach grid bearing.  You can also find the simulation in the map reading lesson shared in the SLS Community Library.
You can find the embedded simulation on my Google site -

A simple demo on how to use the simulation.

1. Check the box next to "Use Protractor" so that the protractor will appear.
2. Read the question on where to measure the bearing from.
3. Select "Move compass to A or B" as shown in question.  E.g. point B
4. Drag the protractor and rotate it so that O points to the north. 
(If the angle is more than 180° then rotate the protractor  with 0 starting from South and the read the angle. Add 180°to the reading.)
5. Drag the pin head so that the line intercept with the point it is measuring to e.g.point A
6. Read the angle from the protractor and enter the number into the keypad with the degree symbol.
7. Click on "Enter Check".
