Overview

This map-scale worksheet uses a shopping centre plan to give students practice measuring distances on a scale drawing. Students follow the marked routes of four shoppers and use the scale to calculate how far each person has travelled. They then create two routes of their own and calculate the distance of each path.

Learning Objectives

Interpret a scale on a map or plan.
Measure and calculate distances using a map scale.
Represent and calculate distances along a planned route.

How the Activity Works

Students trace each marked route on the shopping centre map, use the 2 m scale to calculate the actual distance travelled, and record their answers. They then draw two new routes between chosen stores, identify the start and finish of each route, and calculate the distance travelled.
