  • GENERAL INFORMATION
    • Access Point Number: MA.7.A.1.In.c  
      Access Point Description: Measure and describe how various kinds of models compare in size to real-life objects.

      Access Point Category: Independent  
      Remarks/Examples: Relates to proportionality, but does not require calculations. Student uses observation to compare, such as same size or twice as big.  
      Date Adopted or Revised: 08/08
