Unit 6: Scale Factor

Please see the concept map to see how the unit is broken down.

Key Learnings:

1. Converting from one unit of measure to another within the same system of measurement is important.

2. Ratios, proportions and scale factors are used to solve many problems encountered in everyday life.

3.  The ratios of corresponding sides of similar figures are constant.

4. Scale factors are used to create scale drawings.

Unit Essential Question:

Why is it important to be able to convert from one unit of measure to another?

How do you determine the most appropriate unit of measure for measuring lengths, areas, and perimeters of simple plane figures?

How can scale factors, ratios, and proportions be used to represent the relationships that exist between similar figures?

How can scale factors, ratios, and proportions be used to solve problems related to similar

figures?

Why do we need scale drawings?
