Maps are like different kinds of pictures that help us find our way. Some maps look like the ground, showing roads and buildings, these are good for walking or driving. Other maps show mountains and rivers, these are good when you're hiking or sailing. Each map helps with a different kind of journey.
Examples
- A road map shows where the streets go, like how your toy car moves on the floor.
- A satellite map is like looking down from a plane, showing everything in one view.
