Shadow Fractions lab: Students compared the size of an object and its shadow at different distances from a wall and created ratios and then looked at the data to find relationships.
Scaling shapes lab:Students practiced doubling dimensions of various shapes and creating a scale model. Then students worked on discovering the relationship between the two object's volume.

Students extended what they learned about scaling to 3 dimensional shapes, enlarging and decreasing the dimensions of a simple 3-D shape proportionally and then creating a scale model of the original out of poster board.
Students will identify the steps of the design process as they a design squad video complete the worksheet. Students practiced enlarging and reducing dimensions of various 2-D shapes. Student reflect, first independently and then with their group on their coffee stirrer bridge design. Students will design a bridge out of coffee stirrers and tape. Their goal is to make it hold as much as possible.
Students will fold a piece of paper and label the folds to represent the fractions labeled between each inch on a ruler. Students will then review the steps of the design process
