There are four main types of mapping. They are:
one to one mappings;
many to one mappings;
one to many mappings;
many to many mappings.
A mapping diagram is used to show a mapping.

Definition (keystage 3)
Given two sets A and B, a map between them, m, can be given any element of A as argument and will give an element of B. This is written m : A → b . We say that m is a map from A to B.
A map does not necessarily 'use' every element of B; and some elements of B may be used more than once.
