3. Page 18-19 Problem 2.2 + Follow Up

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.[1.3.2][1.1.4] ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Page 18-19 Problem 2.2 + Follow Up Concerned with side ratios, and scale factor.

3. Page 28 Prob 3.1 + Follow Up

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[1.1.4][1.2.5] •To find a missing measurement in a pair of similar figures •To recognize that triangles with equal corresponding angles are similar[1.3.1][1.3.2][5.1.1] ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Page 28 Prob 3.1 + Follow Up; Emphasis is on properties of similarity - congruent corresponding angles and for today, scale factor. Time permitting, demo sides ratios. NOTES: HOMEWORK: Pages 33-34 2-7
