The cards Question What is a bearing? Tap to flip Answer An angle in degrees measured clockwise from North, written with three figures. Question From which direction is a bearing measured? Tap to flip Answer From North. Question In which direction of turn is a bearing measured? Tap to flip Answer Clockwise. Question How many digits is a bearing written with? Tap to flip Answer Three. Question When giving a bearing to a new point, must the distance to that point be stated? Tap to flip Answer No, it does not need to be, though it can be. Question When describing a position with a bearing, what do you imagine doing? Tap to flip Answer Standing on one point and turning a number of degrees to face the new point. Question Why does a bearing not need a direction of turn stated with it? Tap to flip Answer Because bearings follow the clockwise convention, so the direction is already fixed. Question With a bearing over 180°, which mistake in the direction of turn is common? Tap to flip Answer Turning anticlockwise instead of clockwise. Question If a map is drawn to scale, what can you use to measure a bearing? Tap to flip Answer A protractor. Question If a map is not drawn to scale, what may you need to use to find a bearing? Tap to flip Answer Angle facts. Question Why do the North lines drawn at different points give parallel lines? Tap to flip Answer Because North is always the same direction. Question When finding a bearing, which common mistake replaces measuring from North? Tap to flip Answer Simply measuring the angle between the two line segments. Question What is a transversal? Tap to flip Answer A line, line segment or ray that crosses two or more lines at different points. Question What are corresponding angles? Tap to flip Answer A pair of angles at different vertices, on the same side of a transversal, in equivalent positions. Question What are alternate angles? Tap to flip Answer A pair of angles on opposite sides of a transversal, both between or both outside the two line segments it cuts. Question What are co-interior angles? Tap to flip Answer Angles on the same side of a transversal and between the two other lines. Question What may be added to a diagram to help solve a bearings problem? Tap to flip Answer Additional lines. Question Which kind of trigonometry may be useful when dealing with bearings? Tap to flip Answer Right-angled trigonometry. Question When are variables in proportion? Tap to flip Answer When they have a constant multiplicative relationship. Question What does a ratio show? Tap to flip Answer The relative sizes of 2 or more values, letting you compare one part with another part in a whole. Question Maps are a practical example of what kind of relationship? Tap to flip Answer A multiplicative relationship. Question In a scale drawing, what is the scale factor? Tap to flip Answer The multiplier. Question How can the multiplicative relationship of a map scale be written? Tap to flip Answer As a ratio. Question What is a scale factor between similar shapes? Tap to flip Answer The multiplier that describes how large one shape is compared to the other. Question What does a degree of accuracy show? Tap to flip Answer How precise a number or measurement is. Question When choosing a scale factor for a scaled diagram, what should it make the diagram? Tap to flip Answer Easy to draw accurately. Question What should always be written clearly next to a scaled diagram? Tap to flip Answer The scale factor used.

How this deck was checked On 2026-11-02, every card was compared with its source: the lessons of Oak National Academy, a public body funded by England's Department for Education that publishes lessons for the national curriculum. Because the cards come from those lessons, no second source was sought. The comparison was done automatically, not by a teacher, so a card can still be wrong.
