Stretching and Shrinking Unit Information

Return to Mrs. Montano's Pre-Algebra Site

In this unit students will identify similar figures by comparing corresponding parts. We will also use scale factors and ratios to describe relationships among side lengths of similar figures. Finally we will predict the ways that stretching and shrinking a figure affects lengths, angle measures, perimeters and angles.
