standard_description: Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not (e.g., translation versus horizontal stretch).
problem_activity: Problem 1
Mrs. Fowler knew that the perimeter of the soccer field was
$${{1\over6}}$$
mile. She walked
$$2{{{1\over6}}}$$
miles in total. How many times did she walk around the field? Show or explain your work.
Problem 2
Convert the following mixed numbers to fractions greater than 1. Show or explain your work.
a.
$${3{1\over2}}$$
b.
$${4{1\over4}}$$
c.
$${5{3\over5}}$$
Problem 3
Ben wrote the mixed number
$$7\frac{1}{3}$$
as a fraction. Here is his work:
| $$7\frac{1}{3}= 7 + \frac{1}{3}$$ | (Step 1) |
|-----------------------------------|----------|
|   $$=\frac{7}{1}+\frac{1}{3}$$    | (Step 2) |
|   $$=\frac{21}{3}+\frac{1}{3}$$   | (Step 3) |
|         $${={22\over3}}$$         | (Step 4) |
Explain what Ben did in each step.
