This First Consequences of FTS lesson plan also includes:

Challenge the young mathematicians to find the exact coordinates of a dilated point. The fifth segment in a 16-part series introduces the class to the converse of the Fundamental Theorem of Similarity. Scholars use the theorem to find the coordinates of a dilated point by using the grids as the needed parallel lines.

Instructional Ideas
  • Conduct a short lesson on finding converses
  • Have pairs work on example one without providing them instruction on what to do
Classroom Considerations
  • The class should be familiar with the Fundamental Theorem of Similarity
Pros
  • The latter part of the lesson foreshadows finding a point on a directed line segment
  • Resource provides scaffolding for struggling learners
Cons
  • The diagram for the key of problem one is incorrect
