Assess students' ability to read and interpret community maps by using map scales to estimate real-world distances, identifying and explaining symbols from a legend, applying cardinal directions to describe orientation, and planning a step-by-step route between two locations using directions and landmarks. Include tasks requiring distance conversion with the scale, selecting a path (shortest or safest), and justifying route choices. Target: Grades 3–5; medium difficulty; focus: understanding spatial relationships and map conventions.
