Unit 7.1
Diagram
A diagram is a simplified drawing which provides information about
the appearance and workings of a system or object.
Map
A map is a visual representation of an area using symbols to identify
significant places.

Recognising representation
concepts
Unit 7.1
• Maps and plans are often drawn on grids that use line and block
references.
• The reference of a location identifies the horizontal position first and
then the vertical position.

Floor plans
Unit 7.1
• The floor plan of a building is
drawn from the top, showing the
inside plan.
• This view shows how the
building will be divided up.
• It shows where the walls, doors,
windows, toilets, kitchen, etc will
be.

Maths Lit NQF Level 3
Floor plans
Unit 7.1
• Floor plans are drawn to scale.
So the measurements on the
plan are in proportion to the
actual measurements.
• The scale on a floor plan for a
house is usually about 1 : 50
or 1 : 100.
• For 1 : 50, 1 cm on the plan
represents 0,5 m.
• For 1 : 100, 1 cm on the plan
represents 1 m.

• Here is a building, with its elevations.

Scale, scale drawings and
distance
Unit 7.1
• Maps and plans are drawn to scale to represent distances accurately.
• The distances on the map are proportional to the actual distances.
• A map of the world could be on a scale of 1 : 50 000 000
• Travel maps usually use scales of 1 : 125 000 or 1 : 50 000.
• Street maps are usually 1 : 10 000
• Floor plans for buildings often use scales of 1 : 50 or 1 : 100.

Compass directions
Unit 7.1
• We use the direction north as a reference point.
• Maps should always show north at the top of the map with an arrow.
• We use a compass to read direction.
• The 8 main (cardinal) points are north (N) south (S) east (E) west (W)
• The directions between these are north-east (NE); south-east (SE);
north-west (NW); south-west (SW)

Working with scale
Unit 7.3
Using scale to calculate actual distances
• Scale is written as a ratio length in image : actual length
or as a fraction length in image
actual length
• To work out the scale, we can work out what 1 cm on the map
represents.
• A scale of 1 : 50 000 means that 1 cm on the map is 50 000 cm on the
ground.
• Convert 50 000 cm to kilometres: 50 000 cm = 500 m = 0,5 km
• So 1 cm on the map represents 0,5 km on the ground.

Calculating measurements on a map from actual distances
• Convert the actual measurement on the ground to centimetres.
• Divide by the scale factor.

Unit 7.3
> Example 7.6 page 127 no 1
• Convert: 4,5 km
= 4 500 m
= 450 000 cm
• Divide by the scale factor
450 000 ÷ 50 000
= 9 cm
• So 4,5 km is 9 cm on the map.

Calculating the scale of a map, plan or model
1 Find the ratio between the real distance and the distance on the map.
2 Write the plan or map unit first in the ratio.
3 Convert both units to centimetres.
4 Divide by any common factors and get the first number to 1.
5 Write the ratio without units.

Unit 7.4
• Maps with different scales are needed for different purposes.
• For a long distance journey, a large scale map is useful.
• To find your way around a town or city, a smaller scale map is more
useful.

Unit 7.4
Planning a trip using a road map (map on next slide):
• This example is a trip from Kimberley to Beaufort West.
• On the national map, use the bar scale to estimate the distance.
• On the scale, 3 cm represents 200 km.
• Kimberley to Beaufort West is about 6 cm. It is about 400 km.
• The journey is roughly in a south-west direction.
