scale factor to solve Review Walk About Activity. The students will work in assigned
word problems. groups based on ability. They will have 3-4 minutes at each
table to complete the problem as a group. Each person will have
a half sheet of scratch paper. At the end of the activity, one
person from the group will turn in their paper to me for the
group to receive a grade. This activity is used for visual and
kinesthetic learners.
