Project: Use the information in the text to draw a scaled map of your room. Present it to the class. Explain how you made it.

To draw a scaled map of your room, follow these steps:

1. Choose two objects: Select two objects in your bedroom, such as your bed and desk, or a chair and a window.
2. Measure the distance: Use steps to measure the distance between the two objects.
3. Walk in a straight line: Place your feet from heel to toe while walking in a straight line between the objects. Count the number of steps it takes to get from one object to the other. Write down the number of steps.
4. Choose a scale: Select a scale for your map. For example, one square on the graph paper can represent one step.
5. Draw a map: Use the measurements in steps to draw the map of your room on the graph paper. Write the map scale at the bottom of the graph paper.

To present your map to the class, explain the objects you chose, the measurements you took, the scale you used, and how you drew the map on the graph paper.
