What does it mean to "scale" something up or down? In some cases, we will need to scale shapes using their area - how do we calculate the area of a rectangle with a length of 2 cm and a height of 8 cm? What does a ratio like 1:2 mean when we are talking about scaling an object up? How are scale drawings used in real life? Why do you think we use scale drawings in real life?

Describe the proportional relationships when comparing multiple scale drawings like the ones you saw in the game? When given a scale drawing, how do we go about finding the area of the actual object? What does it mean to scale something? What does it mean to scale something by a factor? What does a ratio such as 1:3 mean when scaling an object to be larger? If we had an object with a length of 5 cm and wanted to scale it using a ratio/factor of 1:5, what would its new length be? How was the factor/ratio changed when scaling the AREA (square centimeters) of objects?
