This week in maths, I have learnt what a Scale Map is. A Scale Map is a map that has a scale that is either, for an example, a 1:100000 scale. A 1:100000 scale means that one centimetre on the map equals 100,000 centimetres, or 100,000 metres, or 100,000 kilometres, or maybe 100,000 millimetres. The other scale looks a bit like a ruler, but it actually could show (another example) 5 kilometres on one point, and then on the second point it could show 10 kilometres, and then at the end of the scale it could show 15 kilometres.
