A map scale shows on a map?
The small map within a larger map is called an "overview map".

Would a map that covers a large area have the same map scale as a map that covers a small region how would the scales deffer?
It could have, but the map of the small region would be very small. The map of the large area would more likely have a larger scale so that more area is covered on the same map area, but in doing so, it will be less detailed than the map of the smaller area with the smaller scale. A larger scale has many more cm in the real world equals 1 cm on the map than a smaller scale one. eg a map for walking could use 1:25,000 (1 cm = 25,000 cm → 1 cm = 0.25 km) whereas the "map" of a room would more likely use a smaller scale of 1:50 (1 cm = 50 cm → 1 cm = 0.5 m)

What are the advantages or characteristics of a small scale map?
Small scale maps can cover a large area of countryside, but can not show much fine detail due to lack of space available on the map's sheet. A motorist is likely to use a small scale map, as the motorist is likely to travel a long way. Large scale maps can show much more detail, but can only cover a small area of countryside. A walker is likely to use a large scale map, as the walker may not travel far, and may need to follow footpaths. Having field boundaries marked on the walker's map is a great help.

(You can see you house on this map) A small scale map is a map where your house would look small on it (or you can't see it at all), like a map of the world, or a map of Europe. So large scale = large house small scale = small house.

Difference between large scale map and small scale map?
A simple way to understand large and small scale when referring to cartography and maps is that a large scale map will represent a particular object (such as the boundary of a particular city) larger in size than would a small scale map.A large scale map of, say, Los Angeles may cover an entire wall. Individual streets would be easily seen, even individual buildings. A small scale map of the same area (southern California) may fit the boundaries of the city of Los Angeles within an area the size of your thumbnail.
