When you open a Terminal, the working directory is you home, so you can easily go to /home/sdk by entering:

cd sdk

Otherwise, you should type the complete address beginning with /. In the case of an address contains spaces you have to use quotations or use before the space. Like:

cd "/media/New Volume/softwr/pgm"

or

cd /media/New Volume/softwr/pgm

Note that Linux is case-sensitive, so be careful about the uppercase letters.
