Strand B: Measurement

Standard 1: The student measures quantities in the real world and uses the measures to solve problems.

Benchmark MA.B.1.3.3: The student understands and describes how the change of a figure in such dimensions as length, width, height, or radius affects its other measurements such as perimeter, area, surface area, and volume.

Sixth
1. given a two-dimensional figure, creates a new figure by increasing or decreasing the original dimensions
