Description
What It Is:
A geometry worksheet where students practice dilating polygons on the coordinate plane using various scale factors and a given center of dilation, then record the coordinates of each image point.
Why Use It:
This worksheet helps students understand how scale factors affect the size and location of geometric figures. It strengthens skills with proportional reasoning, coordinate mapping, and transformation rules—key concepts in middle and high school geometry.
How to Use It:
• Students dilate each figure using the given scale factor and center of dilation (0,0).
• Plot the new image points and label them clearly on the grid.
• Record the coordinates of each dilated vertex in the spaces provided.
• Use as guided classwork, independent practice, or assessment prep for transformations.
Grade Suitability:
Best suited for Grades 7–10.
• Ideal for classes introducing transformations and similarity.
• Supports learners preparing for standardized geometry assessments.
Target Users:
Teachers, tutors, homeschool educators, and students practicing coordinate geometry and dilations.
