The pictures on this page show views of a classroom as it would appear if you were in the classroom.The plans on this page show thesame things that are in the pictures, but appear as viewed from directly above.

Picture A and Plan A to the right, show a backpack, exercise book, ruler and pencil.

Underneath this, Picture B and Plan B show two students working at their desk.

Picture C and Plan C below show the whole classroom. The plan does not show the children and is much smaller than a real classroom. This is because it is drawn to a smaller scale. It is thesame shape, but much smaller insize.

The scale of the plan is 1:50. This means that 1 centimetre measured on the plan represents 50 centimetres measured in the classroom. In order to be able to measure objects on the plan and work out their real size a scale bar is needed. See page 3 for more information on scale.

Objects viewed from above look different and are not always easy to recognise as their shape is different to how we usually see them. To help us recognise objects on a plan they can either be labelled on the plan itself or they can be given different colours and shapes and identified separately in a key.

Plans and maps usually have a key. This shows the meaning of symbols and colours shown on the plan or map.

In Picture C we cannot see the whole classroom but in Plan C we can.

The picture and plan on this page not only show the classroom from page 2, but also the whole school and some of the surrounding area.This is possible because the scale of this plan is smaller than the scale of the plan of the classroom. One centimetre measured on this plan represents 5 metres measured on the ground. The scale is now 1:500

DirectionTo find out where places are in relation to each other it is important to know about direction. A compass is used to find direction. The needle of the compass always points North.By turning the compass so that the needle lines up with the North point on the compass, the four cardinal points can be found – North (N), South (S), East (E) and West (W).All the maps in this atlas have beendrawn with North at the top of the page and as a reminder a compass rose has also been added to the page.

Map

Key

On pages 3 and 4 a ruler is shown beneath the scale bar. This is to show how you can use a map and a ruler to work out distances on the ground.

On the map, the distance between the two spot heights ( ) on top of the two hills on the right is 4 cm (centimetres).As every centimetre on the maprepresents 250 metres on the ground the scale bar has been divided into 1 cm sections, which represent thefollowing distances on the ground:1 cm = 250 m, 2 cm = 500 m,3 cm = 750 m, etc.The scale is now 1:25 000

By laying your ruler alongside the scale bar you can see that 4 cm represents 1000 metres (1km), and that is the distance between the two hilltops.

The picture on this page shows amuch larger area than the picture onpage 3. However the school can still be seen in the centre of the village.

To show this area on a plan the scale must be smaller than the plan on page 2. On this plan 1 centimetre represents 250 metres on the ground.

Fewer details can be shown at thisscale and symbols are used torepresent certain features such asbridges.

If all the individual buildings in thecoastal town were shown it would be too complicated, therefore a symbol for an urban area is used. Small scale plans such as these are called maps.

Certain types of maps, such asphysical maps, show the height of the land (or relief) either by a series ofcoloured layers or by lines called contours. Each coloured layer shows an area of the land at a particular height above sea level, so that when you look at the map you can immediately see where the hills, plains and mountains are.

secondary information that is described below. This includes details about the scale, the direction of true north, a grid to help locate places, and a key to explain the use of symbols. This atlas starts with maps of the Caribbean region, followed by detailed maps of Jamaica and then maps of each Caribbean country, island or group of islands. After that the atlas shows maps of the rest of the world.

There are many types of map, each designed for a different purpose. The map of Martinique at the bottom of the page provides us with information about the physical and human environment, such as relief and roads – this is called a topographic map. Maps with information about specific themes or topics are called thematic maps. For example, the resources and economic activity map on the right shows us Martinique’s natural resources, such as forests and economic activities such as tourism and oil refining. Other examples of thematic maps include those for annual rainfall (page 40), population (page 56) and tourism (pages 54–55). Dot maps use a series of dots to show the distribution of a feature such as population (see page 56). Flow maps use lines or arrows to show the flow or movement of people, animals or things from one place to another (see page 14). Proportional circle maps show the proportional size of the data so that an instant comparison can be made between one place and another (see pages 18–19).

An atlas is a collection of maps, usually of the whole world, or of one region, such as the Caribbean. This is a social studies atlas which provides information about the geography, history and culture of places and people in Jamaica and the Caribbean. The maps in an atlas are drawn to quite small scales so that very large areas can fit onto a single page. To use these maps correctly, and to find out all the information they illustrate, they have a set of

6 LEARNING TO USE THE ATLAS

SecondaryInformation

Latitude and longitude

Line GraphThis uses a line to join the values for each year so that a continuous trend can be seen. It allows the population to be estimated for any years between the named years.

Population PyramidThis is a more complex version of a bar graph which divides a population by its age and sex.

Climate Graph

Many of the maps in this atlas are accompanied by diagrams. These help the user to understand more about the history, geography and economy of the country or state by putting statistical information into a graphic form. These can be in the form of bar graphs, line graphs or pie charts.

Lines of latitude and longitude are the universal way in which places are located on maps.The north-south lines are known as lines of longitude. The line which passes from the North Pole to the South Pole through Greenwich in London is the 0˚ longitude line. This line is called the Greenwich Meridian or Prime Meridian and is the starting point for all longitude readings. Lines to the left of the Greenwich Meridian are measured in degrees West of Greenwich and readings are followed by the letter W (e.g. 61˚W). Lines to the right of the Greenwich Meridian are measured in degrees East of Greenwich and readings are followed by the letter E (e.g. 61˚E). Readings East and West of Greenwich meet on the other side of the globe at 180˚.

The east-west lines are known as lines of latitude. The 0˚ line of latitude is known as the Equator. All lines above the Equator are measured in degrees North of the Equator and readings are followed by the letter N (e.g.14˚N). All lines below the Equator are measured in degrees South of the Equator and readings are followed by the letter S (e.g.14˚S).If we require a more accurate measurement of position we use degrees and minutes. Each degree is divided into 60 minutes – for instance the reference for Fort-de-France on the map on page 4 is 14˚ 38’N 16˚ 05’W.

This graph is a combined bar and line graph, with two quantitative scales, where the rainfall (in millimetres) is shown by bars and temperature (in degrees centigrade) is shown by a line.

Pie ChartThese diagrams are used to show statisticalinformation for a single year. The circle is divided up into segments which are proportional to the percentage of tourists from each area.

Bar GraphThe bars (columns) in a bar graph represent a quantity vertically or horizontally. In the example below, the number of tourists (in columns) is located along a horizontal time scale (years). This allows the visual comparison of each year by comparing the height of the bars. The bars can also be subdivided to show secondary information, such as how many tourists came by cruise ship, in this case.
