This math topic focuses on practicing metric unit conversions using map scales, for distances less than 1000 units. The problems involve converting scales on maps to different metric measurements like hectometers, decameters, decimeters, and meters. Each problem presents a different map scale and asks students to calculate the distance that a specific length on the map (such as 1 cm or 1 mm) represents in varying metric units. This topic aims to enhance understanding of both map reading and unit conversion within the metric system.
