Which aspect/aspects of mapping are present in the primary mathematics curriculum (A) Map interpretation  (B) Unscaled drawing (C) Using symbols (D) Drawing as per scale ?

Option 2 : A, B, C 

Mapping is the creative process of organizing content and can be used in planning lessons, learning, and developing mathematical literacy and spatial thinking. With the help of mapping concepts at the primary level, we can also promote reasoning thinking and solving power in children. 

• Map interpretation is an aspect of mapping because a map should be properly interpreted before it is used as a tool in the teaching-learning process.
• Unscaled drawing of maps is also a part of the primary curriculum because children first get familiarized with mapping without scale and gradually they learn about scale and axis in the further stages.
• Using symbols makes the method of problem-solving easy where the usage of sentences is minimized and symbols are used in place of them. Every symbol indicates a particular action, so symbols should be included in such a way that whenever they come across the action should be applied.

Hence A, B, and C  are the correct options. 

Scaled drawing is not considered an aspect of mapping in the mathematics curriculum because the scale is something the children need time to understand. Children first get familiarized with the mapping without scale and they get to know about the scale in the upper primary stages.
