Metric Unit Scale on Map - Power of 10 (less than 1000) - Same Unit (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on interpreting map scales and performing relevant conversions using the metric system. The problems require learners to apply the concept of powers of 10 to convert map distances (measured in millimeters and centimeters) to real-world distances based on different scale factors (e.g., 1:1000 and 1:100). Each problem involves a multiplication calculation where learners need to scale up a given length on the map to find its actual size in the real world. These skills are fundamental for understanding and using scales in practical contexts like reading maps or architectural plans.
