Four students are looking at a map of India with scale of 1 cm = 100 km. Student 1: Let's draw a large scale map our colony now. Student 2: Why do you feel we need a large paper to draw our colony? A small one is enough. Student 3: Large scale does not mean large paper. We need to change the scale. Let's make it 1 cm = 500 km. Student 4: No no, since we only need to draw our colony, a centimeter can show much less distance. Arrange the four students in increasing order of the conceptual clarity (i.e. from least clear to most clear)

Students are taught map skills to develop spatial understanding and scaling skills. For students to able be to understand a map and draw a map, certain prerequisite skills are required without they will not be able to get the map and draw a map.
Key Points
- First of all the child needs to understand that large -sizes sheets are required to depict a map properly. A very small sheet of paper will not include everything that has to be depicted through a map.
- The students need to be aware of the scaling system like how much they should do the scale up to denote a particular distance.
- For showing a whole colony students need to depict various houses, roads, etc. in it. So, depicting it on a very small scale will not serve the purpose. Hence they must use appropriate distance for the scale.
Important PointsConceptual knowledge\understanding- It is referred to as the knowledge of the concepts, principles, and theories that the students learn in the class mainly through reading, writing, and experiencing.The four students in increasing order of the conceptual clarity.
- Student 2: Why do you feel we need a large paper to draw our colony? A small one is enough.
- Student 3: Large scale does not mean large paper. We need to change the scale. Let's make it 1 cm = 500 km.
- Student 1: Let's draw a large-scale map of our colony now.
- Student 4: No no, since we only need to draw our colony, a centimeter can show much less distance.
Thus, it is concluded that 2 < 3 < 1 < 4 is the correct answer.
