Fri (shortened classes- movie Day!!) Students will check homework 6-27 to 6-32 here. Today we will begin learning about dilations (see lesson 6.1.4) Dilations involve multiplying each coordinate by some constant number...you will explore what happens to the original shape in a dilation using the etool in problem 6-43. Homework: Enjoy the weekend!!

Week of April 25,2016 Mon 4/25 CC 2.5 The students began class with a warmup to review similar triangles . We continued to explore dilations by completing problems 6-43 and then moving on to problems 6-52 to 6-54. The resource page needed is here

If you feel you need extra explanation of dilations please watch this sKhan academy video, However, be be aware that in class we are only dilating figures about the origin so far.
