SIZING UP SCALE CREATED BY KRISTINE VESTER MATHSCIENCE INNOVATION CENTER
Determining Room Size Length • How big is this apartment? • What are the measurements of the bathroom? width “The Cape” Reflections of West Creek Apartments
0 of 32 20 What is the length and width of the bathroom? • 11 ft by 13 ft • 11 ft by about 6 ft • 9.4 ft by 5.8 ft • 11 ft by 5 ft

32 10 Seconds Remaining 0 Which do you need in order to find the size of the settlement? • The number of people living there. • How much food they eat. • The number of animals living in the village. • A measurement of something within the village.
Measure the following lengths in millimeters • The distance from the Chief’s altar to the Chief’s entrance. • Distance from the Chief’s entrance to the settlement’s entrance. • Distance from the back hut’s entrance and the settlement’s entrance. • Isthere any relationship between the three measurements?
Scale We can utilize the scale ratio to find the missing measurement. It is the ratio of the size of the drawing to the actual size of the object.
Why is Scale important? • Used by professionals (i.e.: builders, architects and plumbers) • Scale Factor: How much an object is increased or decreased by.
How tall is Robert Wadlow? How about now? 8 ft 11 inches Scale: gives you an idea of how big an object is.

Where do the Slave’s Living Quarters Begin? Let’s Test What We Have Learned About Scale.
What we do know!!! The larger huts > 12 meters in width. The smallest huts < 3 meters wide. The distance from the entrance of the settlement to the entrance of the back hut is 60 meters. You will have to walk 20 meters into the village before you arrive at any slave’s living areas. But Which Way?
Sierpinski’s Triangle No matter how much you zoom, you still get the same picture.
Village Characteristics • Scale: Even though you change the scale, the design stays the same when you zoom in and out.
Village Characteristics • Scale: Even though you change the scale, the design stays the same when you zoom in and out. • Recursion: Repeating the same step.
Similarity? What’s the repeating pattern?
Are they similar? YES NO
Answer Now 0 of 32 Are they similar? Why or why not? • No, they are not the same size. • Yes, they are the same shape, but not the same size. • No, they are the same shape, but not the same size. • Yes, they are the same color.
Is it self-similar? YES NO
0 of 32 Is it self-similar, why or why not? • Yes, it is made up of shapes. • No, the inside shapes don’t build the outside shape. • Yes, the inside shapes are similar to the whole shape. • No, it doesn’t look the same.
Self-Similarity? Similarity?
Village Characteristics Charateristics of Fractals • Scale: Even though you change the scale, the design stays the same when you zoom in and out. • Recursion: Repeating the same step. • Self-similar: The parts are the same as the whole.
