-Homework: Page 23 #7, Page 24 #9
-SpaceBunny

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 [1.3.4] Understand and apply combinations of translations (slides) and reflections (flips) to two-dimensional figures. ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Working with space bunny ( (2,1), (5,3), (2,4), (3,3), (1,3)) make tables and implement the following rules 1)2x,2y 2)x+8,y 3)x+3 y+7 4)0.5x,0.5y Reflect original figure across the x axis. NOTES: 1st and 4th quadrant only. Present questions on scale factor. HOMEWORK: P26 #14; P27 1&2

-Homework: Pp26-27 14,1,2

OBJECTIVE: See 1-18 above. ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Present, model and discuss the 'variable tension proportioner' (rubber band), the pantograph, and the projection method for making enlargements/reductions. Students may practice these activities. Introduce the notions of scale and scale factor. Distribute vocabulary. NOTES: compare corresponds, corresponding image ratio scale, scale factor, similar angle* angle measure* area* congruent* coordinate graphing* coordinates* diameter* dimensions* line plot* line segment* parallel* perimeter* perpendicular* vertex* midpoint* transform, transforming (slide, flip, turn = translate, reflect, rotate) HOMEWORK: draw a triangle; use projection to enlarge and reduce. Measre the sides of the original and the two similar figures.

-Similar set
=Page 28 Problem 3.1+

OBJECTIVE: • To recognize similar figures and to be able to tell why they are similar [1.3.3][1.3.1] • To understand that any two similar figures are related by a scale factor, which is the ratio of their corresponding sizes • 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 a scale factor and that the areas grow by the square of the scale factor[1.2.1][1.2.3] • To find a missing measurement in a pair of similar figures • To recognize that triangles with equal corresponding angles are similar above. ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Page 28, Problem 3.1 NOTES: LABSHEET 3.1 Measure sides and angles, establish ratios if appropriate. Do follow-Up HOMEWORK: Pp33-35 1-7

1-21-2005 Bring your ruler! Bring your graph paper!
-Homework: Page 33-35 1-7

OBJECTIVE: See 1-20 above. ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: See supplemental program/handout from teacher generated exercise. NOTES: HOMEWORK: Demonstrate translation and reflection. Make a guess as to what rotation (turn) would be. Use a five point figure (like space bunny)
