MLSN High School Breakout

from the current ‘Kentucky Program of Studies’  High School Skills and Concepts – Systems of Measurement

Students will -make decisions about units and scales that are appropriate for

problem solving situations involving measurement

High School Skills and Concepts – Measuring Physical Attributes

Students will -describe how change in one or more dimensions of a geometric

figure or object affects the perimeter, circumference, area and/or volume of

the figure or object

from the new ‘Common Core Standards’

Similarity, Right Triangles and Trigonometry Core Standards · Students understand that:

The dilation of a given segment is parallel to the givensegment and longer or shorter in the ratio given by thescale factor. A dilation leaves a segment unchanged if and only if the scale factor is 1.

Core Standards · Students can and do:

Give an informal explanation using successiveapproximation that a dilation of scale factor r changesthe length of a curve by a factor of rand the area of a region by a factor of r2.

I am learning how a change in one or more dimensions of an object affects the surface area or volume of the object.
