Metric Unit Scale on Map - To 1000000 - Change Unit (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on applying the concept of map scale to solve problems involving unit conversions, specifically within the metric system. Problems involve converting given measurements on a scaled map to real-world distances using different metric units such as kilometers, hectometers, decimeters, and decameters. Each question provides a scale and a measurement from the map, and students are required to calculate the corresponding real-world distance. The problems help enhance understanding and proficiency in dealing with different scales and applying measurement conversions in practical contexts.
