4. Start P19 Investigation 2.2

OBJECTIVE: 1.3.1 Understand the concept of similarity and its relationship to congruence. ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Finish 2.1 which is the plotting of the Wumps. (Graphing in the first quadrant; adapting 'rules' to figures to alter size, shape and location. Investigation 2.2 is the wump nose, used primarily to demonstrate rules by altering the coefficient of x and the value of b NOTES: HOMEWORK: P23 #6 (on grid paper)
