Total Marks: 40
Topic: Map Graph Data Skills
Section A: Map Skills (14 marks)
Q1 [1 mark]
Answer: 0304
Teaching note: Four-figure grid reference uses easting (horizontal) first, then northing (vertical). School is between easting 03 and 04, northing 04 and 05 → 0304.
Common mistake: Writing northing first (0403).
Q2 [2 marks]
Answer: 123236
Mark breakdown: 1 mark for easting 123, 1 mark for northing 236.
Teaching note: Six-figure splits the square into tenths. Hospital is 3 tenths across 12–13 → 123; 6 tenths up 23–24 → 236.
Q3 [1 mark]
Answer: Lake
Teaching note: At easting 05, northing 21 the symbol shown is a lake.
Q4 [2 marks]
Answer: 350 m
Working: Map distance = 3.5 cm. Scale 1 cm = 100 m.
Distance = 3.5 × 100 = 350 m.
