Today we learned more about Dilations: enlarging and reducing geometric shapes by using a scale factor.

Class notes are below....

HW is the CRCT worksheet handed out in class today, problems 1 through 6. Show your work on notebook paper using the format we used in our notes. Graph problems 1 and 6, both the original shape and the dilation.

4th Period:
Your homework is to write 5 fraction multiplication problems. You must solve them and be prepared to share them with the rest of the class. You can not use any problems we used in class, or use the numbers 1 or 0 in your fraction.
