Scholars build upon their knowledge of scale drawings by using percents to represent the scale factor. Individuals work with scaling in vertical, horizontal, and both directions.

Classmates create a scale drawing from another scale drawing, changing the scale in the process. Groups enlarge or reduce the scale of the drawing and discuss their processes.

Enlargements and reductions are all about scale. The lesson introduces scale drawing to the class. Pupils determine whether the drawing is a reduction or an enlargement, and the constant of proportionality between the original and the...

Middle and high schoolers solve fifteen problems from six exercise sets covering transformations, reflections, rotations, and enlargements. The solutions are provided.

Here is a instructional activity that has learners take a look at corresponding parts of similar triangles, ratios of similarity, reductions and enlargements. They'll manipulate the scale factor (r) to observe the changes in similar...

Eighth graders understand that proportional enlargement of shapes doesn't change the angles of those shapes. In this similarity lesson, 8th graders complete exercises to create enlargements of shapes and understand similar shapes.

Are congruent shapes compatible? Congruent shapes are identical to one another, and throughout the assessment, young mathematicians identify given shapes as congruent.

Students explore transformations.  In this mathematical transformations lesson, students define quadrilaterals, convert centimeters to meters, and complete a transformations worksheet.

Students, through lecture and guided practice, discover the properties of similar triangles. They use given measurements of one triangle to find a missing measurement of a similar triangle. They apply this knowledge in real-life...
