    M.8.2.1   Explain that dilations produce similar figures. ( i.e the ratio of the side measures  of one two dimensional figure are proportional to the corresponding side measures of the other two dimensional figure and that angle measures are congruent)  
    M.8.2.2   Construct a two dimensional figure that is similar to another two dimensional figure if the second is obtained by a dilation. 8.G.A.4
    M.8.2.3   Describe the effects of dilation on a two dimensional figure using an algebraic representation to determine the new coordinates. 8.G.A.3
    M.8.2.4   Construct a two-dimensional figure to verify that a two-dimensional figure is similar to another two-dimensional figure if the second is obtained by a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations. 8.G.A.4
    M.8.2.5   Describe a sequence that exhibits the similarity between two similar figures. 8.G.A.4
