New Insights and Their Implications

I learned alot from the scale factor and area worksheet we had to do. As our group started filling out the chart, we had a hard time finding out what the general rule was for each shape. We were able to find the area and perimeter for each scale factor. One person in my group noticed that the area and perimeter was the same for each same number of side shapes. Our group had trouble increasing the scale factor for some of the shapes but we worked together and helped each other out to make sure that it was the correct scale factor. At the end of the worksheet we figured out the general rule. We took a couple different approaches to solving the problems on the worksheet. We learned from the readings that there are different ways you can think about solving problems and different steps you can take to get an answer. Some of us had the same thought process and others had something a little different but in the end we used all of our thought processes to come up with an answer.
