Map making

In maths we are exploring how maps work.  In our first session, we created a 'course' using objects from the classroom.  We then had to create a 'map' of that course and plan a route through it for others to follow.  We had to think about:

• Distance between the objects
• Relative size of the objects
• Orientation of each object
• Placement of the objects relative to other objects and relative to the map

It was harder than it seemed!
