Scale factor example

In Pre-Algebra, students received their Chapter Six Formative Pre-test back from yesterday's class.  This is an excellent tool to use as we begin to prepare for the Chapter Six Summative Assessment.  Students then began Lesson 6.1: Perimeter and Area of Rectangles and Parallelograms.
In class, students...

• calculated the area and perimeter of various two dimensional geometric figures.
• explained why finding the area of a parallelogram is the same as finding the area of a rectangle.

For homework, students SHOULD...
