Revision of Map Skills, Yr11, Yr12 and Yr13.

This week we will be revising basic map skills. For all the levels you will need to be able to understand and use;
  • 6 figure grid reference - to locate places and points on a map.
  • scale - to calculate distances.
  • directions - to describe where places are in relation to one another.
  • contour lines - to describe height and shape of the land.
The website below has some really good practice map skill questions.

Here is a good explanation of how to do six figure grid references.
