This math topic focuses on understanding and calculating the scale of maps using metric units. Learners practice converting measurements and applying the concept of scale to find the actual distance represented by given measurements on a map. Problems include interpreting scales with powers of ten up to a million and changing units within the metric system to determine the correct map scale. This resource is part of a broader introduction to measurement conversion and map scaling using metric measurements.
