• Measuring distance on a scale
• Find an area using a 4 figure grid reference
• Find something using a 6 figure grid reference
• Know how to explain direction on a map

9
Map use

• Who has used a map before?
• What have you used a map for?
• What can people use maps for?

1) Folding and unfolding an OS map

• Ordnance Survey maps are big! They can be tricky
  to fold and unfold without damaging them.
• Watch your teacher carefully and follow their
  instructions as they show you how to do it.
• No that you have watched you should try yourself
  until you are an expert!

2) Understand what the symbols show
By playing these games you should be learning
what some symbols are remember this will be
tested later so play fairly! EXT In your groups
can you come up with a different game using the
flashcards?

• You will each collect a Quiz sheet from the front
  and complete it as well as you can in the time
  your teacher allows.
• Dont cheat as having a high mark but no skill is
  a waste of everybody's time.

  where to improve.

Evaluation form

• The very last thing to do is to fill in an
  evaluation form. As well as a chance for you to
  say what skills you have gained it will also help
  your teacher improve.

Using a compass
A compass is a tool for finding direction. It
works due to the earths magnetic field. A metal
needle inside the compass is attracted to the
magnetic north.
25
Using a compass
As you know where north is you can use the
compass to work out other directions.
26
