Maps can sometimes make it harder for us to find our way instead of helping. Here are some problems we might face:

• Confusing Shapes: When maps are bigger, they can make places look different than they really are.
• Missing Information: When maps are smaller, they can leave out important details, which can make things confusing.

To solve these problems, we can:

1. Use scale bars to understand distances better.
2. Check smaller maps alongside bigger, more detailed maps to get a clearer picture.
3. Practice reading different map sizes to get better at finding our way.

Even though there are challenges, we can use these strategies to understand maps better.
