A dilation is a transformation in geometry that alters the size of a shape without modifying its form. The "Dilations on the Coordinate Plane" worksheet for eighth-grade geometry offers students an opportunity to practice plotting images of shapes after completing a given dilation, all of which are centered at the origin. This worksheet serves as useful practice for students as they acquire more knowledge about transformations on the coordinate plane. To gain further practice with transformations on the coordinate plane, students can also attempt the "Rotations on the Coordinate Plane," "Reflections on the Coordinate Plane," and "Translations on the Coordinate Plane" worksheets.
