One rhombus =_ triangles Now shade one of the triangles. What fractional part of the rhombus is shaded? 6. Draw a trapezoid. Now use a triangle and ascertain how many triangles it takes to equal one trapezoid. One trapezoid = triangles

16. Mission: Treasure Hunt You are part of a special group known as "The Smarty Pants.“ You have been dropped off at GMS to locate and recover the "Key to Success." There are evil forces out there trying to make you fail this mission, so you are constantly moving around. There are also other groups (by the same name) trying to find the same treasure. Your goal is to be the first group to recover the treasure. Good Luck! Plot and label the points as you move. If you do it correctly, you should end at the treasure. Every member of the group must have the graph completed with labels. If they fail to have this, they will be eliminated!

39. Scale Factor and Dilations Prior Teaching –Scale factor when it is in whole number form –Two types of dilations –Criteria of each dilation

40. Say NO to Oreos You have 2 double stuf Oreos, 2 regular Oreos, and 3 Oreo minis. Do NOT eat the Oreos. We are going to use the Oreos to find scale factor. Remember to say NO to Oreos! You could copy three pictures of Oreos and classify them as Regular, double stuf, and mini. You could have the kids measure the pictures. When I go over the results, we use the measurements I have. We discuss why the measurements might be different.

41. Say NO to Oreos Calculate the height in inches of 2 regular Oreos. Round to the nearest half inch. Calculate the height in inches of 2 Double Stuf Oreos. Round to the nearest half inch. What type of dilation occurred to create the Double Stuf Oreo from the regular Oreo. 1 inch 1.5 inches Enlargement

42. Say NO to Oreos Will the scale factor be greater than 1? Calculate the scale factor used to create the Double Stuf Oreo. Remember to say NO to Oreos. Yes

43. Say NO to Oreos Calculate the diameter in inches of 1 regular Oreo. Round to the nearest half in. Calculate the diameter in inches of 1 Oreo Mini. Round to the nearest half in. What type of dilation occurred to create the Oreo Mini from the regular Oreo. 2 in 1 in Reduction

44. Say NO to Oreos Will the scale factor be greater than 1? Calculate the scale factor used to create the Oreo Mini. Remember to say NO to Oreos. No

48. Percent Change

49. Tax Change % to a decimal. For every dollar you spend on the item, you add the amount of the percent. 5% =.05 =.05 added to every $ $8.00 item $1 5¢5¢5¢5¢5¢5¢5¢5¢5¢5¢ 5¢5¢5¢5¢5¢5¢ Tax: $.40 Total:$8.00 +.40 = $8.40

50. Discount Change % to a decimal. For every dollar you spend on the item, you subtract the amount of the percent. 5% =.05 =.05 subtracted from every $ $8.00 item Discount: $.40 Sales Price: $8.00 -.40 = $7.60 $1 5¢5¢5¢5¢5¢5¢5¢5¢5¢5¢ 5¢5¢5¢5¢5¢5¢

51. You have $2.00 to spend in the math store. There is a sale! 20% off everything in the store. The tax rate is 8%. Complete the order form and give to the store clerk (your partner). The store clerk will “ring” you up. Verify that your total matches the clerk’s. Fill out the check. Bring the order form and check to Mrs. Cook to receive the item(s). Tax & Discount

52. Calculate your daily quiz mean for the week. You can earn 2% commission for your grade. Calculate the commission amount. Verify the total with Mrs. Cook. Write the amount in your checkbook register. Commission
