    1. -HW Similarity...

    OBJECTIVE: To explore proportional reasoning. ACTIVITIES: Student groups use their room sketches form 10-21 to calculate the area of the room using the A=l*w formula. It may require dividing the room into various rectangles. Check with estimation. Find the average room area for the group. Determine the average room dimensions (and shape) including do0rs and windows. Make a sketch for each person. Start on dimensions for a scale drawing using the scale 3/4" = 1 foot. NOTES: Standard dimensions: door 2'6"x6'8" Wall height 7'8" top of window same as door. HOMEWORK: Accumulate appropriate amount of cardboard to build scale model
