Yesterday, 7th graders were given puzzle pieces and challenged to make them 1 1/2 times bigger. They used the properties of similar figures and applied that to the activity. Then, the group had to put the puzzle back together with the new pieces.
Tomorrow, we will graph coordinate pairs of the new and original side lengths and develop an equation from the graph.
In Pre-Algebra, we are focusing on adding integers. You can play games about adding integers at Math Playground at the following link:
