Step 01
What is a map?
A map is like a drawing or a picture that shows what an area looks like, whether it's your neighborhood, a city, or even the whole world!
It helps you find your way, shows you where things are, and makes it easier to understand how different places are related.
Maps use special symbols and colors to represent things like roads, rivers, mountains, and buildings. They also have a scale that tells you how far away places are from each other.
