1. =Measure Drill...
2. -P90Check-Up.....OBJECTIVE: Investigation 3: #To recognize similar figures and to be able to tell why they are similar. #To understand that any two similar figures are related by a scale factor, which is the ratio of their corresponding size. #To build a larger, similar shape from copies of a basic shape (a rep-tile). #To find rep-tiles by dividing a large shape into smaller, similar shapes. #To understand that the sides and perimeters of similar figures grow by the square of the scale factor. #To find a missing measurement in a pair of similar figures. #To recognize that triangles with equal corresponding angles are similar. ACTIVITIES: Finish Virus model. Additional Practice 3 (pp174-175) Introduce proportion NOTES: GLENCOE 417-425 which includes similar polygons. [a/b=c/d] Discus the definition of proportion which is a comparison of two ratios. HOMEWORK: Proportion problems dictation

2. -P40 1-4 opt.....OBJECTIVE: Investigation 4: #To use the definition of similarity to recognize when figures are similar. #To determine the scale factor between two similar figures. #To use the scale factor between similar figures to find the length of corresponding sides. #To find a missing measurement in a pair of similar figures. #To use the relationship between scale factor and the area to find the area of a figure that is similar to a figure of a know area. #To solve problems that involve scaling up and down. ACTIVITIES: Cooperative exercise, complete Investigation 4. NOTES: HOMEWORK: Make a SKETCH of a birds eye view of your bedroom or personal area showing the location of doors and windows (NOT furniture). The sketch is to fit on a sheet of notebook paper. Measure walls, windows, doors, etc. to the nearest ½ inch or centimeter.
