 * Space**
 * recognition of angles between lines, particularly when lines are parallel or perpendicular
 * use of scaled grids to draw similar figures (enlarged or reduced)
 * use of a graphical scale to determine actual size and distance from a map
 * interpretation of maps of their own immediate environment using various scales; for example, school ground, suburb, state, country
 * description of a path by a set of coordinates

= Angles =

Create an angles poster with different angles, making sure you label any parallel (180 degrees) and perpendicular (90 degrees) angles you find. There is an example below.

= Mapping = Make your map You may choose to make a map of the country you are visiting in the 'Holiday on the Net' project. media type="file" key="video-42642342.m4v" width="390" height="390"

Then complete this activity with your map media type="file" key="325.m4v" width="393" height="393"

Take us on a tour of all the places on your map using
 * Grid references
 * Compass directions
 * Graphical scale

The next step in mapping
