01 / UNDERSTAND

Here is what is happening.

A plan shows a place as if viewed from above. Symbols represent things; a key explains them. A scale connects a distance on paper with a distance in the real place.

Pause. Make the idea your own.

Explain one idea to a partner, draw it or write it in your own words. Which part is an observation, an example or a question?

You can use a home language. No need to share personal experiences or finish everything in one sitting.
02 / MAKE IT YOUR OWN

Your little investigation

What you need

Paper and a ruler. Imagine measurements if measuring is difficult. Do not share your home layout online.

  1. Imagine a room 4 metres by 3 metres. Use 1 cm for 1 metre.

  2. Draw a 4 cm by 3 cm rectangle and add a door symbol.

  3. Write a key and ask a friend to explain the plan.

03 / CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING

At this scale, how long is a 2 metre table on the plan?
