For me, going from the front, side and top views is easier if I start by drawing the side shape, then adding the depth as needed for the top and front. My two versions of these two problems follow.
There are 3 ways to work through these scale problems. The book uses the idea of solving proportions, as seen here: The 2nd way to do it is to use dimensional analysis, which looks like this for the same problem above: Both of these methods have proved to be difficult for the kids. So, the 3rd way is: First make sure the scale is written as a unit rate (some number compared with 1). Then, if you're going from the small thing (map or model) to the big thing (usually real world size) then you multiply what you have by the scale. If you have the big thing and need the model size, divide by the scale.
In Mrs. Sanford words:
Complementary Angles add up to 90 degrees Supplementary Angles add up to 180 degrees I like to remember this by thinking about common man and super man jumping over a building. Common man would hit the building (90 degrees) and superman can jump over the building (180). :D Mrs. Sanford definitions:
Vertex: bottom corner which makes the angle Vertical angles: Angles opposite each other - are equal!!!!! Congruent: the geometry word for equal Adjacent: right next to each other - share a line This honor's topic is all about patterns. We talked about the Fibonacci Sequence, golden ratio, fractals, tessellations, and Pascal's Triangle. This was primarily in class work. If any of it needs to be made up, that will need to be done on a case by case basis. Please come and talk to me and we'll see what can be worked out.
