1. -Page 5ff Problem 1.1....

OBJECTIVE: •To make enlargements of simple figures with a rubber band stretcher •To describe in an intuitive way what the word similar means[1.3.3] •To consider relationships between lengths and between angles in simple, similar figures [1.3.3][1.3.1] ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Students will work indiviudally on problem 1.1 - 'Enlarging Figures' NOTES: Students might need rubber bands for the homework assignment. HOMEWORK: Page 10 3&4

[  An interactive pantagraph (what the rubber bands attempt to duplicate!)]

1. -HW Page 10 3&4......
2. -Dilation........

OBJECTIVE: See 11-12 above ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Students will complete a dilation exercise based on a system of coordinates. Involves measurement and spatial decisions. Students will need to bound a drawing and divide one axis into 5 sections and the other into seven sections. The drawing will be transferred to a 5" by 7" grid. NOTES: Variation of the rubber band stretcher and the pantograph. See the math definition here. HOMEWORK: Page 12 #7

1. -HWPage 12 #7........

OBJECTIVE: • To review locating points in a coordinate system • To graph figures using algebraic rules • To predict how figures on a coordinate system are affected by a given rule • To learn that corresponding angles of similar figures are equal and that corresponding sides grow by the same factor[1.3.1] • To compare lengths and angles in similar and nonsimilar figures informally • To experiment with examples and counterexamples of similar shapes ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: P14ff problem 2.1 'Drawing Wumps' Requires labsheet 2.1a and 3 copies of labsheet 2.1b NOTES: This will not be finished in one class session. HOMEWORK: Page 22 #1. Also try to draw a third 'similar' triangle.
[You can 'practice' Wumps here.]
