This worksheet challenges pupils to draw a topological map of central London’s Underground by transforming a text description of lines & stations into a map. It tells pupils which colours to use for five different lines, and it uses compass directions and intersection points to build the detail. It is useful for teaching the concept of topological maps at KS3 or at GCSE because as long as pupils follow the instructions, their map will be topologically correct, even if it looks slightly different to another pupil’s interpretation. Also the tube map is iconic, so pupils may recognise what they produce, and their work can be compared to the original TfL tube map. This resource could be used as a homework task or in class.
