1. Finish measures on handout for scale factor
2. Start on Scale factor/Area sheets

OBJECTIVE: To use the definition of similarity to recognize when figures are similar •To determine the scale factor between similar figures to find the lengths of corresponding sides[1.1.4] •To find a missing measurement in a pair of similar figures[1.1.4] •To use the relationship between scale factor and area to find the area of a figure that is similar to a figure of a known area •To solve problems that involve scaling up and down[1.1.4][1.2.5][1.3.1][1.3.2][5.1.1] ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Finish measures on handout for scale factor - measure enough sides to utilize proportion 2 sides on first figure, 1 on second. Determine scale factor. Set-up sheet to demonstrate the relationship of scale factor to area. Area and scale factor² worksheets worksheets to reinforce the relationship of the linear scale factor to square area (area * sf² = new area) NOTES: HOMEWORK: SF Area sheets as appropriate
