Stretch the class' knowledge of dilations. With the aid of the rubber band stretcher tool, learners perform dilations. They dilate the triangle by a whole number scale and a fractional scale from two centers of dilation.

For this similar figures worksheet, students identify the meaning of similar, corresponding sides, and congruent.  They use proportions to find the length of a missing side.  Students dilate given figures according to a scale...

Why did it not copy correctly? Using the tools in GeoGebra, pupils explore an image and its preimage. The learners determine what happened with the copying process and determine where they should position the preimage to obtain a...

What happens to radio waves, time, and light in and near a black hole? Young scientists explore what is known about observing frequency and time at various distances from a black hole. They control the size of the black hole and the...

Investigate dilations using this interactive resource. Students are given an opportunity to explore how scale factors can be used to enlarge or reduce the size of a given figure. Be sure to follow the link to the printable activities,...

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.

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.

This site, in German, offers numerous apps that illustrate common physics principles. Apps are organized into categories: mechanics, oscillations and waves, electrodynamics, optics, thermodynamics, the theory of relativity, physics of...
