Z-Scores as Geometric Transformations

What if you explored the idea of standardizing coordinates as a geometric transformation? Explore angle measures and areas and perimeters. Computing a z-score (standardizing) is [math]z = \frac{x - \bar{x}}{s}[/math], a composition of a translation and a dilation.
