This week in math, we will continue with Unit 1a: Geometric Transformations. The focus of this week is dilations; however, we will continue to review translations, rotations and reflections as we compare these rigid transformations to non-rigid transformations. Students will use rigid transformations along with dilations to determine if figures are similar.
In addition, students will enhance their understanding of similarity and congruency through the analysis of figures and images. A major idea about that students need to understand is that congruency is a special case of similarity in which the scale factor = 1. Students will have homework nightly and they need to review their notes in preparation for the unit assessment, which is scheduled for Friday, August 31.
