Scale
Learning Objective
- To identify what scale is and how we can
measure it.
- All pupils can define scale . 3
- Most pupils can locate the scale of a map. 4
- Some pupils can explain what ‘the crow flies’
means. 5
L/O - To identify what scale means
Using Geog. 1, find out what
‘Scale’ means.
Scale = ........................................
Write the definition in your book.
Scale is what makes map drawing
possible.It takes real life things and
reduces them in size, many times, so they
can be shown on a map.
Every map has a scale printed on it.
You should always check this figure
before you start reading it. It will tell
you how much smaller the area shown on
the map is compared to real life.
-To identify what scale is and how we can measure it.
-To identify what scale is and how we can measure it.
What do you notice about these two maps of
the same area?
A
B
Map ‘A’ covers a smaller area
than map ‘B’.
-To identify what scale is and how we can measure it.
How is scale shown on a map?
The scale on a map can be written in different
ways:
1. A scale line
0
1km
2. Use ‘:’ which means ‘represents’ 1 : 25000
This means 1 centimetre/metre/kilometre on the map
represents 25000 centimetres/metres/kilometres on land
Example: 1cm on map = 25 000cm on the actual land
same as: 1cm
= 0.25km
-To identify what scale is and how we can measure it.
Distances can be measured in 2
different ways.
1. As the crow flies (in a straight line) - this is the direct
and shortest distance from A to B – Orange Line
2. Actual distance following every twist and turn in the
road or path – Green Line
-To identify what scale is and how we can measure it.
Task:
• Using the map in your pairs, you
need to find two cities or towns.
• Which is the shortest distance the
‘Actual distance’ using roads or ‘As
the crow flies’.
-To identify what scale is and how we can measure it.

Grid references
Geographers use maps constantly but
sometimes they can seem a little confusing.
Maps are often covered by a grid.
This is so we can
find places more
easily. These
grids have numbers.
