2. Warm Ups - Consumer Spending
3. Space Bunny - dictate

OBJECTIVE: 1.3.1 Understand the concept of similarity and its relationship to congruence. Describe the location of points on a coordinate grid in any of the four quadrants. ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Give the coordinates of the space bunny (2,1)(5,3)(2,4)(3,3)(1,3)(2.1) for students to plot and then give a set of rules which will move and/or alter the space bunny (in 4 quadrants) NOTES: Review integer operations. HOMEWORK: Write a rule to make a similar (larger or smaller) space bunny. Plot both.
