Introduction
Have you ever seen objects that have more than one size, but still have the same shape and look? Today, you will learn why, and how! In this assigned WebQuest, you will be practicing your SCALED COPY and SCALE FACTOR skills!
Task
Today's Objectives (What you will be able to do after completing our WebQuest):
1. I can describe characteristics of a scaled copy (7.G.A)
2. I can describe features of scaled copies (7.G.A.1)
3. I can draw scaled copies (7.G.A.1)
4. I can look at the effects of different scale factors (7.G.A.1)
Today's To Do List:
1. Complete the 5 assigned activities
2. Complete an Exit Ticket in a 3-point manner so that my grade can go up!
**REMEMBER:
0.5-point: NAME
0.5-point: COMPLETION
1-point: ALL WORK SHOWN
1.0-point: CORRECT CIRCLED ANSWER
3. Check your current grade
Process
Click on the underlined Activity # for it to take you to the website needed. Make sure you complete ALL 5 activities.
1. Activity 1: In your Unit 1 student book, complete lesson 1. Follow along, and pause as needed to be sure that you get ALL of the notes provided to you! Do NOT be afraid to pause the video, or to rewind it so that you can get a clear understanding of the content! STOP the video BEFORE the Practice Problems begin.
2. Activity 2: The material you just covered with Mr. Morgan needs to be practiced and reviewed in more than one way, because we all learn and remember best in different ways! Watch ALL videos listed in full, and complete ALL review questions.
3. Activity 3: After picking up a piece of graph paper, watch the videos, then create your own shapes. After creating your shape, draw at least 2 scaled copies of your shape!
4. Activity 4: Think carefully about each question. Look for key words and pick the answer you are most confident in.
5. Activity 5: You have worked so hard today! Let's see what you have learned, and have a bit of competition! You are showing me how much you have learned, and showing me that you know how to work hard to complete all of your work!
When you have completed all of your assigned activities:
1. Complete the Exit Ticket from the front table. Complete in 3-POINT quality.
2. Turn in your Exit Ticket
3. Bring me your drawing of a scaled copy from Activity 3. Be sure your name is on it! Then,

Conclusion
Today, you learned how to make scaled copies of drawings and shapes by applying a scale factor. The only way you can get the correct shape, is if you have the correct numbers! I look forward to seeing your upcoming scaled copy drawings that we will complete with the rest of the unit!
