This challenging worksheet stretches second graders into map scale and direction work. Multiple-choice questions ask what a map scale figures out, how far apart a school and park are when one inch equals one mile, which map part explains a small tent symbol, and which way to walk if the store is south of the school.
Fill-in-the-blank items cover the scale bar showing real distance, world maps, the compass rose, and doubling miles when two inches matches a five-mile scale. Children finish able to measure distance and follow directions like real navigators.
