I have taught 7th grade for 8 years and have also taught a combination of 5th, 6th and 8th grade in various years. Currently, I teach part time and spend the other half of my job as a math instructional coach.
This lesson allows students to explore scale drawings by creating a new drawing based on scale factors. Students are given a shape and a scale factor and then must create the enlarged or reduced shape. This lesson also includes hint cards to prompt students that may be stuck. To finish the lab, students will make connections between the area and scale factor of the figures.

Teaching style
It is always my goal to get students out of their seats during the class period. I love to allow my students to discover new concepts and then follow up the investigation with a mini-lesson. I am a teacher at an EL Learning school and I am always looking for real world applications of math to apply to our units of study.
