Brush up on your math skills relating to dilations then try some practice problems to test your understanding.

Get independent practice working with dilations. Each incorrect response gets a text box explanation and another try. Correct responses are confirmed.

This site defines dilation and gives an example with a diagram. There is also an interactive activity involving a JavaSketchPad page in which you can explore dilations. In addition, be sure to follow the links to related terms, more...

In this activity, students will explore the properties of dilations and the relationships between the original and image figures.

A dilation is a transformation that produces a figure with a different size from that of the original figure. In this activity, you will explore the properties of dilations and the relationships between the original and image figures.

Students will discover properties of similar figures using the TI-89 and CABRI Geometry II to use dilations to dynamically manipulate figures.

This site provides students practice with the concept of dilation. Students can learn about the topic by completing an interactive tutorial. Students can then take a ten question timed test to practice the skill.

Determine the meaning of dilation through the glossary entry.

For this geometry game, students must guide Transtar, an alien spaceship, across space by applying transformations to it. At the same time, there are dangers to avoid and the number of moves and tries are limited.

Explore transformations of a polygon that include: 1) translation 2) rotation 3) reflection and 4) dilation.

Given rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations, students will be able to develop algebraic representations for rotations and generalize and then compare and contrast the properties of congruence transformations and...

College-level electrical physics course highlighting Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. Course introduces the physics of Lorentz contraction, time dilation, the "twin paradox", and E=mc2. Course features suggested readings,...

This model permits manipulation of variables in order to observe the effects of time dilation on twin objects, one moving and one not, as shown in a spacetime diagram.

Using the USA TODAY Infograph, 'Wing tabs save fuel', ratios and proportions will be used to explore the concept of similarity between a drawing/model and the actual dimensions. The effects of dilation (size change) on an image and...
