This quiz addresses part of the requirements of the National Curriculum KS1 for children aged 5 and 6 in years 1 and 2 in Geography. Specifically it looks at drawing a plan of, for example, a room and making a map of a town. It is one of 50 quizzes to help you understand the world around you.
At school in geography do you remember drawing plans? They might have been plans of a room - your bedroom perhaps, or your classroom. You might have drawn a plan of your school and the playground. Sam has drawn plans. Now he wants to draw a map of the town he lives in. What should Sam put on his map? Can you help him?
