A comprehensive course designed to build foundational and advanced math skills for 6th-grade students, preparing them for the MAP assessment and real-world problem-solving.
Practical Applications
Scaling and Proportions in Maps and Models
What Is Scale?
Scale is used to represent real objects in smaller or larger sizes, like maps or model cars.
How to Use Scale
Read the scale (like 1 inch = 5 miles) and use ratios to find real distances or sizes.
Building and Exploring
Architects, engineers, and even game designers use scaling to plan buildings, bridges, and virtual worlds!
Examples
On a map where 1 inch = 10 miles, 3 inches is 30 miles.
A model car is 1/24 the size of a real car.
