LI: Draw plans or blueprints of spaces, making sure all the measurements are right
A scale in math is a special tool that helps us compare the size of different things. Think about when you have a toy car and a real car. The toy car is a tiny version of the big car. A scale tells us how many times smaller the toy car is compared to the real car. For example, if the scale is 1:10, it means the toy car is ten times smaller than the real car. We can use scales for many things, like maps, drawings, or models. If you see a map of your town, it’s much smaller than the real town, and the scale tells you how much smaller it is. Scales help us understand big things by making them smaller or understand small things by making them bigger.
