UBD Stage 1: Goals & Learning Targets

a. Standards Addressed
○ Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including
computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and
reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale. (CCSS: 7.G.1)
■ Understandings

about real-life scenarios.
■ Essential Questions
● What do geometric models teach us about our physical
environment?
