Description
This two-lesson unit, from Illuminations, illustrates how students can learn about the length, perimeter, area and volume of similar objects using dynamic figures. Students 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. They then manipulate the scale factor that links two three-dimensional rectangular prisms and learn about the relationships among edge lengths, surface areas and volumes. Less
