Scale Drawings - Unit 1
Inquiry Question - How can art and math complement each other?
Lesson 1 -
Learning Target - I can draw to scale and identify the scale factor.
Group Task - draw sea animals to scale. What do you notice? What do you wonder?
Label scale factor as 1cm = 3 feet
Discussion - Split your graph lines in half. What is the new scale? Is it
different?
1.1 Mastery Check - Draw two other animals to scale. Label the scale.
Lesson 2
Learning Target - I can identify corresponding parts of scaled figures.
1.2 Group Task - Which triangle is a scaled copy? Create a chart to justify your
answer.
1.2 Corresponding parts Video - Take Notes.
