We have started our study of indirect measurement and similar figures. We looked at two ways to find indirect measurements: using scale factors or using proportions.
3rd, 6th & 7th periods: Tonight’s homework is Similar Figures Assignment 3
5th period: Textbook pg. 306 – 307 (4 – 19)
Happy Monday everyone! I think I just about have all of the Unit test finished now. Just a few to go. I’m almost finished grading them so you can have them back to look at soon.
So now we are off to our next unit “M7G3.” We will be studying similar figures and area & perimeters of similar figures. Your homework tonight is to complete the proportions assignment 1. This should serve as a good review of how to solve proportions and work with ratios. You will need to be able to apply this skill a lot during this unit.
M7G2 Vocabulary Words:
Congruent
Transformation
Center of Dilation
Scale Factor
Line of Symmetry
Similar
Line of Reflection
Vertical
Horizontal
Dilation
Rotation
Translation
Reflection
Center of Rotation
Study your flash cards, graphic organizer and homework assignments from this unit tonight to get ready for tomorrow’s test.
We dilated smily faces today in class. Your homework tonight is to finish graphing all 6 figures and to complete the homework sheet given in class. You DON’T have to do the 5 questions at the bottom of “Dilations in the Coordinate Plane.”
We played a game of “I have, who has…?” to help us review our transformations. We might even play it again to get a little faster with our answers. Your homework tonight is: Transformation Homework Practice. Graph each problem on a separate grid.
3rd period: Finish pg. 198 (2 – 52) even in your textbook and “Homework: Dilations”
5th & 6th periods: Finish pg. 198 (2 – 52) even in your textbook and 8-10 Study Guide and Practice.
7th period: Finish 8-10 Study Guide and Practice and pg. 198 if needed.
Today we applied our Transformation knowledge and really thought outside the box. We did a Transformation Cube activity. If your group didn’t quite finish today, you will have time tomorrow to do so.
Your homework tonight is to complete th eTransformation homework. Remember, you don’t have to do them all, just do 3 from section 1, 2 from section 2, and 1 from section 1.
I think you all have got the hang of rotating! Today we created a graphic organizer for our Transformations. We will add to it when we learn dilations next week. Keep it handy to refer to often.
In class today we also worked on Rotating shapes. If you didn’t finish yours, please do so over the weekend. Make sure you label your points.
I hope everyone enjoyed seeing their mathematical coat of arms on the graphing calculators yesterday. They were really impressive.
Today we learned the rules for rotations around the origin. Your homework is to complete 10:9 Study Guide and Practice.
SEE YA!
We did a little reflecting today in math class. In fact you all created your very own Mathematical Coat of Arms using reflections across the x and y axis. Your homework tonight is to finish them up and have them looking great by tomorrow. Don’t forget to color them:)
