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.
2) Compare the angles of the original to the new paper.
3) Compare the area of the new paper to the area of the original.
1) 8 divided by .5 euqles 4 10 devided by .5 equles 5
2) The angles stay the same as the first
2) the new area ofthe small is 40 in 80 divided by.5 is 20
