FREE Map Scales | Maths Codebreaker | Answers Included

FREE DOWNLOAD - no purchase required.

Convert map and real distances using scales and units.

This FREE resource contains one complete A4 pupil worksheet with 20 questions and a matching answer page with workings, plus a product-family guide. Pupils solve the maths, match answers to letters in the code grid and decode the hidden words.

Difficulty: Level 5 of 10 within this range (1 is easiest; 10 is most demanding). These levels are a guide to relative challenge, not GCSE grades.

Three questions from this worksheet:
1. A map has scale 1 : 5,000. A route is 0.7 km long in reality. Find its length on the map in centimetres.
2. A map has scale 1 : 100,000. A road measures 4 cm on the map. Find its real length in kilometres.
3. A map has scale 1 : 20,000. A route is 0.6 km long in reality. Find its length on the map in centimetres.

Use for focused practice, consolidation, homework or a lesson activity after teaching the method. Print the pupil page for learners and retain the answer page for checking. Follow the rounding and unit instructions on the sheet.
