This lesson helps to make that relationship clear.
Students analyze the use of map scales and map coordinates in existing maps.
Then students create pamphlets focusing on these two map features to help others understand and use map scales and coordinates. Learning Goals Demonstrate an understanding of the relationship of maps and math by using map scale and map coordinates. Create pamphlets to help other students learn to read maps effectively and see the relationship of math to maps. Warm-Up Discuss how maps and mathematics are related. Ask volunteers to describe how they can use maps to solve problems related to distance and location.
