Complete the following questions for a graded assignment!1. Explain what you think each word means when it is used to make a comparison.

a) ratio-part to part or part to whole
b) percent-out of 100.
c) fraction-part to whole
d) difference–subtraction

2) Give an example of a situation using each concept to compare two quantities. (150 total seventh graders, 80 girls, 70 boys

a) ratio- 8:7 girls to boys
b) percent- girls 53% boys 47%
c) fraction- girls 80/150=8/15 boys 70\150= 7/15
d) difference-There are 10 more girls than boys

Reflections #4

1) What has to be the same in order for two parallelograms to be similar?2) Describe a way to find a missing side length in a pair of similar figures.3) I have a small isosceles triangle with a base of 3 inches and other sides are 4 inches.I want to create a similar isosceles triangle with a base of 7.5 inches.What should the other side lengths be and why?

1) The have the same ratios and angles

2) To find the missing side length you would take the other side lengths and see how they go into eachother and the one corresponding to the missing side length you would divide the number.

3) The missing side length would be 10inches.

assignment 4

For this 10 point assignment - answer the following questions in COMPLETE sentences and use examples to help support your answer. You could copy and paste these questions onto your blog if you need to and then type your answers in different colors. Write me a comment on this assignment when you finish! :)1) Think back to Mug Wump - how did you decide which characters were similar to him? How did you decided which characters were NOT similar to him?3) If I used (x, y) to create Mug and I used (4x, 4y) to create a new character, Pug, how would Pug be similar to Mug? What is the scale factor from Mug to Pug? How many Mugs would fit into one Pug (area)?

1) I knew which characters where similar because they had the same angles. I found out which characters were not similar becasue they did not have the same angles.

2) Pug would be similar to mug becasue when u multiply you are probably making pug bigger. The scale factor would be 4. 16 mugs would fit into 1 pug.

This is for a summative grade worth 12 points (3 points each question).Sometimes when I make copies of worksheets for you, I reduce the the original to waste less paper! (one small thing to help save our planet! :) http://www.ourearth.org/Let's say that my original paper is 8 inches by 10 inches. I type in 50% to the copier to reduce the paper. Using the math reflection rubric I handed out this year, answer the following questions on your blog (1 bonus point for answering in paragraph form instead of question/answer form):1) Compare the oringinal paper's side lengths to the new paper's side lengths.2) Compare the angles of the original to the new paper.3) Compare the area of the new paper to the area of the original

1.The new side length is half the size of the original.

2.the original and new side length's angles would be the same becasue all angles are the same.

3.The original shape's area is 25% bigger than the new shape.

Whats up shorty? I don't know if I'm doing this right, so I'm giving it a shot. Did you put the dog pictures on your blog? They're cute. I will comment more once I know that I'm doing this right.
