Which is Bigger?
To take the longest path, go around—or was that go over? Class members measure scale drawings of a cylindrical vase to find the height and diameter. They calculate the actual height and circumference and determine which is larger.

Similar Shapes
Similar shapes are all about the scale. Given seven problems, pupils use scale factors to determine measurements within similar shapes. While solving the problem, scholars also determine whether two figures are similar and use...
Curated OER
Length, Perimeter and Area
Learners analyze characteristics and properties of two- and three-dimensional geometric shapes and develop mathematical arguments about geometric relationship
