Moving Straight Ahead Test

Preparation Guide for

Moving Straight Ahead Unit Test This Week - Friday

Essential Learnings - students should know how to:

• Translate information about linear relationships given a table, a graph, or an equation to one of the other forms.

• Solve problems and make decisions about linear relationships using the information given in tables, graphs, and equations.

Additionally, students should be able to:

• Construct tables, graphs and symbolic equations.
• Recognize linear relationships
• Solve an equation for an unknown.
• Find x or y when you substitute in the other value in an equation.
• Find the slope of a line given two points on a line or given an equation.
• Find the point of intersection of two lines given a graph, a table or two equations.
• Find y-intercept when given an equation.
• Be able to use and understand the vocabulary terms we have learned in class such as linear relationship, the point of intersection, y-intercept, slope, coefficient, rise, run, horizontal, vertical, coordinate pair, etc.

Focus questions/ problems - students should study by reviewing & redoing the following:

• The packet with 20 practice problems solving for x.
• These specific sections from the Moving Straight Ahead book; Problem 1.2, Problem 1.3, Problem 3.4, Problem 3.5 & Problem 4.2.

Comparing and Scaling - New Unit

Welcome to our new unit focusing on ratios, rates, percents, and proportions.

Investigation 1: Ways of Comparing: Ratios and Proportions

Investigation 1 focuses on different strategies for comparing quantities—using ratios, fractions, percents. Students learn what different types of comparative statements say about data given. They are asked to write comparative statements using ratios and differences that describe data. 

We have completed Investigation 1.1 -1.2 in the new Comparing and Scaling Book.
We focused on the ability to make comparisons of quantitative data. 
We focused on making comparisons through:
1. ratios
2. differences
3. percents
4. simplified ratios

Further, we stressed the importance of making comparisons between part-to-part or part-to-whole.

Stretching and Shrinking Unit Assessment

Study Guide for Stretching & Shrinking Unit Test

Assessment will be on Thursday, February 15th.

Essential Learnings:

• Apply coordinate rules to stretch or shrink shapes and then plot them.
• Understand ways that stretching or shrinking a figure affects lengths, angle measures, perimeter and area.

Specific Skills:

• Draw shapes on coordinate grids and use coordinate rules to stretch (x, y), shrink and move the shapes.
• Determine the way that stretching and shrinking a figure affects lengths, angle measures, perimeters, and areas.

• Identify similar polygons and use scale factor and side length ratios to prove similarity between polygons.

• Calculate scale factor of two similar shapes and find measures of angles in similar polygons.
• Apply relationship of scale factor to perimeter and area.
• Use the properties of similarity to find distances and heights that you can’t measure.
• Use specific vocabulary appropriately, use the terms we have learned and discussed in class - specific vocabulary is posted in the classrooms as well as on the Math Blog.

Material to Review:

1. Review and redo problems from the unit Check-ins, Checks for Understanding, warm up problems, in-class practice sheets.
2. Problems from the text: Problem 2.2 (pages 30 & 31), page 32 the definition of similar (the two bullet points under the bold word), Problem 2.3 (pages 34 & 35), Problem 3.1 (page 52), Problem 41. B (page 83), Problem 4.2 (page 84), Problem 4.4 D (page 89).  
3. Unit Review in your book (pgs. 108-110) specifically #s 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6.
