Lesson:
- Continuing from last class: Notes, p.13 (identifying a dilatation)
In order to review dilatation, I ask students what dilatation means and what
characteristics the produced image has. Then I will ask them to fill in the
blanks and do the following example as a practice. When they are done, I will
ask volunteers to explain their answers.
- Reproduction to scales:
I introduce the concept of scale by showing a YouTube video
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HNsG6qhl60). We will see the first 5
minutes of this video. In this video scale factor is shown in a very fun and
interesting way. Since students are familiar with scale factor from Dilatation
lesson, I connect it to the concept of scale. Then I will use some drawings as
more examples.
The other source in which students have been exposed to the concept of
scale, is maps. I further explain how scale can be used in maps and show
students a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYizlhPvMWQ) on how
we can calculate the distance between two places by using map scale.
Closing discussion
I finish the lesson by asking students what was it that they learned and
what are the most important things they have to remember about scale
and reproduction at scale. It is a good way to summarize the lesson.
