Description
This is part one of a two-part E-example from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics that illustrates how students can learn about the length, perimeter, area, and volume of similar objects using dynamic figures. In this part, the user can manipulate the side lengths of one of two similar rectangles and the scale factor to learn about how the side lengths, perimeters, and areas of the two rectangles are related. E-examples are selected from the electronic version of the Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (PSSM). Less
