Scale and Using an OS Map [Date]
Today I will:- Learn how to use a scale- Bring together the skills I have learned to effectively read a map.

GeographyMaps
Objects can be scaled up or down in size. On an OS map the scale is written like this:
1:50000 1:25000
1 cm on the map is 50000cm in real life. This means that 1cm =
500m or 0.5km

GeographyMaps
Draw 5 horizontal lines on your page. Let’s imagine a scale of 1:50000
10 cm
8 cm
5 cm
3.2 cm
8.6 cm
Because the scale is 1:50000 you work out the distance in real you multiply the number
of cm by 0.5. This will give you an answer in km.

GeographyMaps
Draw 3 bendy lines on your page. Let’s imagine a scale of 1:50000
To work out a distance that is not a straight line you use a piece of paper and mark on
the points.
