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?

Because they looked exactly like mug just a little smaller and bigger and there angles.

They were tall and skinny and there angles were not similar.









2) 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)?

Because

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.

The new side lengths are 4 by 5 inches.

2) Compare the angles of the original to the new paper.

They angles don,t change at all.

3) Compare the area of the new paper to the area of the original.

There area is 80 for the original and 20 for the new paper.

Second assignment - There is a method to my madness! :) Write about why you think I am having you blog in math class - How will it help you? Will it help you? What is the point??? (a 7.th grader's favorite question...)

It is fun and it is also to see if we follow drections.

It is more interactive and yes it will help me by me knowing

to do a blog.
