ACE 3.1 Rep-tiles

Today we talked about rep-tiles, figures you can use to make larger, similar versions of the original. Rep-tiles are a subset of tesselations, since not all shapes will tile to make a similar, larger version of the original shape. We answered the questions in problem 3.1, which is in the handout you can download here. Class notes are available here.

Tomorrow I will be absent for a sixth grade field trip. You will have a quiz on all the geometry concepts we have covered thus far. You will also have an opportunity to make tesselations if you finish the quiz early.

Homework for Thursday is to choose one of the options below to complete in the homework handout, that you can download here.

Option 1
Problems 1-3 on pages 44-45

Option 2
Problems 1-2 and 22-24 on pages 44-47

Be sure to write out your thinking completely.

Due Thursday, November 19.
