Note: Scale

You use a scale on a map to see 
what the distance (afstand)
 on a map is. 

The bigger the number, the 
further away a place is on 
the map. 

Note: Making a scale

Things I need to remember when making my map:

1. How large is the location I am making? 

2. How big will the symbols be? (the bigger, the larger it is)

3. How far do I have to travel from West to East in total? 

4. Think of a scale. How far is 1 cm on my map?
