How-To Steps. Use a ruler to measure the distance between the two places. If the line that you're trying to measure is quite curved, use a string to determine the distance, and then measure the string. Find the scale for the map you're going to use.
21 cze 2024 · Measuring Distances on a Map. Students use a map scale to measure distance between cities and other places on a map of your state. They create and exchange quizzes and use an interactive map to check their answers.
Map scales are used to measure distances on a map that are equivalent to real-life measurements using miles or kilometers. Learn how to use a map scale and the math needed to calculate distance.

4-ESS2-2. Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth’s features. [Clarification Statement: Maps can include topographic maps of Earth’s land and ocean floor, as well as maps of the locations of mountains, continental boundaries, volcanoes, and earthquakes.]
This activity teaches students to use maps to answer their questions about distance. Students will measure distance on the surface of a map and then use a variety of tools to understand what their measurements mean for the same distance on the surface of Earth.
