Today in class we learned about scale factors. A scale factor is the number that you multiply x or y by. For example, 3x, 3y, the 3's are the scale factors. The scale factor can be the number of times you multiplied the x or y. Also in class today, we did a geometry sketchpad. It was with a figure of zug and then a copy of zug (image). We also learned how to make the other image move up and down and to the side. If you add to the y axis the shape moves up and if your subtract from the y axis the image moves down. If you add to the x axis the image will move to the right. If you subtract from the x axis it moves to the left. We experimented with the images and found out some cool things.
Finally, we reviewed how if you multiply the x and y axis by the same thing you we make the image bigger or smaller. The image will also be the same. If you multiply two different numbers then the image won't be the same.This is Daily Scribe
That is what we did on Thursday december 10, 2009!!
