Map Scales focuses on interpreting and using map scales through various question formats.
The worksheet begins with double (or stacked) number lines, helping students build confidence in understanding scales. Students complete number lines for two given scales and answer related questions, reinforcing proportional reasoning.
In Section B, students apply given map scales to calculate real distances and vice versa. The scales in this section are presented with units, requiring students to convert between metric distances. Additionally, one question requires learners to measure distances on a map before calculating the real-life distance.
Section C introduces scales given as ratios (e.g., 1:100 or 1:50). Students match map scales to their equivalent ratios, compute real-life distances from different map scales, and determine map lengths for given real-world distances, reinforcing reverse calculations.
