A Map of the Chicken Yard

In the small farm town of Merrydale, Nora's class learns what a map shows. Their teacher draws a map of a chicken yard. She imagines looking straight down from above. On the map, the coop is a rectangle near the top. The water tub is a circle below it, and the gate is on the bottom edge. A path runs from the gate to the coop. The map shows where things are in the yard, not how the coop looks from the side.

Which idea does the chicken-yard map help children understand?
