Scale Calculation
Geography ⇒ Geographical Skills and Techniques
Scale Calculation starts at 7 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Scale Calculation.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 8

True or False: A linear scale is also known as a graphical scale.
True or False: A map with a scale of 1:5,000 is more suitable for showing a city plan than a map with a scale of 1:1,000,000.
True or False: A small scale map shows a larger area with less detail.
True or False: The larger the denominator in the representative fraction, the smaller the scale of the map.
