Description

This image depicts a scale drawing of a square that has been scaled up by a factor of 1:2. This means that each side of the square in the drawing is twice the length of the corresponding side in the actual object. Scale drawings are essential for accurately representing objects in a manageable size while maintaining proportionality.

Teacher's Script: "Observe this scale drawing of a square. How does the 1:2 scale factor help us understand the relationship between the drawing and the actual square? What are some real-world applications of scaling up objects, such as in architecture or design?"

Ratios and Rates

Description

This example explores the concept of similar triangles using ratios. The image shows a right triangle with sides labeled as 9, 12, and 15 units. Students are asked to determine if this triangle is similar to a standard 3-4-5 Pythagorean triplet triangle.

Understanding similar triangles is an important application of ratios in geometry. This example demonstrates how ratios can be used to compare the sides of triangles and determine similarity. By scaling the sides of a known triangle (3-4-5) and comparing them to the given triangle, students can see how ratios maintain proportionality in similar shapes.
