Curated OER
Dilations of 2 and 3 dimentional figures and their effect on area, surface area, and volume.
Seventh graders investigate the area and volume of 2D and 3D figures. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders create a storyboard explaining their knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes. They analyze their data and interpret their results.
