What did the Chair of Examiners say about this question?  \nWhat is a bearing?  \nUsing angles when describing position and location has been introduced to Level 1 Functional Skills maths as part of the reform. Pearson has taken this to mean bearings.  \nSo what is a bearing?  \n• A bearing is a way of measuring direction, it is often used by ships and the military.  \n• It is measured in degrees.  \n• It is measured from north.  \n• It is measured clockwise.  \n• It is always given in three figures.  \n• It is measured using a protractor.  \nAn example  \nThe context  \nThe north line; you would measure from this line  \nThe scale; important for the second part of the question  \nWhat you need to do  \nAnswering the question  \nStep 1  \nUse a protractor and measure the angle between A and B using the north line asa starting point.  \nStep 2  \nUse a ruler and measure the distance between A and B (remember to use cm) .  \nStep 3  \nUse the scale in the key to convert the distance in centimetres to metres (remember to show your working out) .  \nStep 4  \nWrite the instructions for the group.  \nThe answer  \nStep 1  \nUse a protractor and measure the angle between A and B using the north line as a starting point. 112 degrees  \nStep 2  \nUse a ruler and measure the distance between A and B (remember to use cm) . 6. 5cm  \nStep 3  \nUse the scale in the key to convert the distance in centimetres to metres (remember to show your working out) . 6.5 x 1000 = 6500m  \nStep 4  \nWrite the instructions for the group. Walk for 6500m ata bearing of 112 degrees.","cbCaipEimitLGK2J","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipEimitLGK2J","pdf",577193,14,"English","# What is a bearing?\n# An example\n# Answering the question\n# The answer\n# What did the Chair of Examiners say about this question?","[{\"question\":\"What is the definition of a bearing in mathematics?\",\"answer\":\"A bearing is a measurement of direction, typically used by ships and the military, measured in degrees clockwise from north and always expressed in three figures.\"},{\"question\":\"What tools are required to solve a bearing problem?\",\"answer\":\"To solve a bearing problem, you need a protractor to measure the angle from the north line and a ruler to measure the distance between two points.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you convert distance in centimeters to real-world distance?\",\"answer\":\"You use the scale provided in the map key to convert the measured distance in centimeters into the required units, such as meters, ensuring you show your working out.\"}]","Functional Skills Maths - Using Angles and Bearings - Training Guide | PDF",1792464145,35]
