True
False
Maps:
Are drawn to Scale
Use colours, symbols and labels to represent features on the ground
Can be Small-Scale or Large-Scale

OS Maps use symbols to show information on a map and all of these can be found in the (a) .
How would you measure the straight line distance between two points on a map?
- Put a piece of paper so the edge passes through the two points. 2. Mark the edge of the paper where it touches the two points. 3. Place the paper against the linear scale or a ruler.
- Use a ruler going from one point to another. Take note of the length. 3. Work it out using the scale.
- Count how many boxes are between the two points. 2. Each box is 2cm, so then use that to work out the scale.
This diagram shows us how to:
Measure the curved line distance on a map (a road, railway, river, etc.)
Measure an irregular shaped area (an island, lake, or mountain, etc.)
Measure the length of a contour on a map.

True
False
How would you calculate the area of the whole map itself?
Count the number of boxes along the bottom, and the number of boxes along the vertical side, then multiply the two.
Using your ruler, measure the bottom of the map, and the measure the vertical side of the map, then multiply the two.
Count all the boxes on the map and add them together.
How would you find the area of an irregular shape on a map? (Lake, Island, Mountain etc.)
- Count all the full squares 2. Count all the squares with half or more full 3. Add the totals from 1 and 2 together.
- Count the number of squares on the bottom of the shape. 2. Count the number of squares along the vertical side. 3. Add them together.
- Count the number of squares on the bottom of the shape. 2. Count the number of squares along the vertical side. 3. Multiply them together.

specific place
whole area
What would you find using these four-figure grid references?
Ballyhack and Cheekpoint
Arthurstown and River Suir
Quay and River Suir
Catherines Bay and Passage East
A six-figure grid reference allows us to give a more (a) location than a four-figure grid reference.
What is the 6-figure grid reference for the Golf Course at 'C'?
(a)
How do we talk about directions on a map?
Using the Cardinal Points of the compass. (North, South, East, West)
Using spaces between the Cardinal Points of the compass (North East, South East, South West, North West)
Using the further divided points, the Minor Compass points (NNE, ENE, ESE, SSE, SSW, WSW, WNW, NNW)
All of these are used to give direction on a map.
