This a stop motion animation I made with Colette for Pi Day!

We were asked to think about the different types of comparison statements we’ve been writing and our work with rates and unit rates. In this video I’ve addressed 2 questions: 1) HOW have you found these ideas helpful. 2) Make up an example comparing two items using unit rates.

Figures are mathematically similar when the corresponding sides of a rectangle can be related by a scale factor or have congruent angles for a triangle. They are also similar when they can be simplified into the same ratio.

TRUE or FALSE

• Any two rectangles are similar. False: For two rectangles to be similar they must have a scale factor for the side lengths to match up. Or they must have to both simplify to the same ratio.These two rectangles have a scale factor of 1.5 for them to be similar
•  Any two equilateral triangles are similar. True: This is true because even if they are a different size, all of their angles are congruent. For a triangle to be similar they must have congruent angles to each other.
  

  These are both equilateral triangles, and they are similar

The picture to the left is a picture of good Notetaking. This is good Notetaking because everything is organized, and you can see the strategies and thinking clearly. If I flipped to this page I could easily see what was going on and I could understand everything that I wrote down.

The picture to the right is a picture of bad Notetaking. This is bad Notetaking because it is messy and you can’t easily understand what is going on. There are also two different math problems in one page. There is a line dividing both of them, but it could be possible not to know that the line differenciates two different problems.

In math we are learning about similarity in shapes. In the first picture I wrote which shapes were similar and why. In the second picture I wrote answers to the questions on the sheet. It was mostly about making shapes similar to the shapes on the sheet, and making non similar shapes and explaining.
