Today we learned about scale. But what is scale? For example in the world map, to get from the south island of NZ to the north. It would be a long distance, but we can't really put that the exact distance onto a map so we use scale to measure it (e.g 10 miles = 1 cm on the paper) so that's what we did for our class room. We measured the class room it was 9 m long and 7 m wide. On the piece of paper we wrote 1 m=2.5 cm and 20 cm = 0.5 cm. we were allowed to do other objects too like a desk. This was kinda confusing for me but I understood after.
Will you do one? If you do what will you measure like your bedroom?
