1 cm on the map stands for real kilometres — use the scale key to turn map distance into real distance and back.
A map route is measured in centimetres against a scale key like 1 cm = 5 km, and the child converts map distance into real distance and back, or works out the scale itself. Using a scale factor both ways builds proportional reasoning with real-world maps. Best for Grades 5–6.
