"Honey I Shrunk ..." page 1
Comments
This is about the enlargement transformation and should be shown together with Maths in the Movies page 10 and page 11.
It is a tricky problem but can be solved if all the clues are used.
The clip occurs about one quarter of the way through just as the kids a finding their way back to the house through their front lawn.
It is suitable for students who know about enlargement transformations.

"Honey, I shrunk the kids." Maths in the Movies. Project 14.
From the script...
Nick , “I am now ¼ of an inch tall.
64 feet from the house its equivalent to 3·2 miles.
It's a long way even for a man of science ”
Nick again, “A butterfly with a wing span of 42 feet!”
How tall is Nick ?
Is he correct calculating the butterfly ?
Name the movie !
