I/D 4: Unit V

During the activities in class, we discussed  how the shapes would all fit into the graph. We think that if all of the shape is given, maybe we could fit it into the graph like a puzzle piece. For a perfectly shaped graph, it was easier to solve because the shape fit nicely into it. However, on other graphs, it is harder because the shape is not porportioned . In order to solve for the ones that are not perfect, we would have to estimate it by putting pieces subtract it by the amount that is not used. In addition to, we also look at the scale of the graph. To do that, can figure out an estimate by figuring out the area of each space. It will give you a good estimate of the area.  In conclusion, we think that the most accurate graph use is to fit the pieces of shape on to the graph and estimate. As for the area, we think that you can estimate by looking at the scale of the graph alone.
