7A & 7B: ACE 2.1 Drawing Wumps, 7B: 2.2 Wump Hats

Today we continued drawing figures on a coordinate grid using algebraic rules for transforming another figure in both 7A and 7B. We compared the computer game character named Mug Wump to Zug, Lug, Bug, and Glug, and decided whether they were members of the same family. Family members (Mug, Bug, Zug) are geometrically similar, which means that their corresponding angles are the same and their sides are increased or decreased by multiplying by the same scale factor. Impostors (Lug, Glug) are not similar, because their corresponding angles are not equal, and for example they are 3 times taller but not any wider, or 3 times wider but not any taller.

Classnotes are available here. The handout packet students received for the next few days is available here.

For the ACE 2.1 homework at the end of the handout packet above, please choose one of the options below to complete:

Option 1
1, 2, 14

Option 2
1, 2, 29

Due tomorrow, Thursday, November 12.

Students in the 7B class began looking at problem 2.2 in the handout packet above, drawing hats for Mug Wump that use rules that multiply by different scale factors or add a number to the x and/or y coordinate. Classnotes can be downloaded here. They drew the hats using the handouts you can download here (Mug hat graph and table, Four graphs, Enlarged graph). We will finish working on this problem tomorrow.
