DIFFERENTIATION IN ACTION

Skill Building

From Activity 4.2: MLR 7 Compare and Connect. Use this routine to call attention to the different ways students may identify scale factors. Display the following statements: “The scale factor from EFGH to IJKL is 3,” and “The scale factor from EFGH to IJKL is 1/3.” Give students 2 minutes of quiet think time to read and consider whether either or both of the statements are correct. Invite students to share their initial thinking with a partner before selecting 2–3 students to share with the class. In this discussion, listen for and amplify any comments that refer to the order of the original fgure and its scaled copy, as well as those who identify corresponding vertices and distances. Draw students’ attention to the different ways to describe the relationships between scaled copies and the original fgure. From Lesson 7 “Are You Ready For More?”: The tallest mountain in the United States, Mount Denali in Alaska, is about 6,190 m tall. If this mountain were shown on the scale drawing, how would its height compare to the heights of the structures? Explain or show your reasoning.
