Instructional Ideas

• Challenge learners to find other instances of transformations in magazines or websites
  

Classroom Considerations

• Pupils should be familiar with transformations, including dilations
  
• Knowledge of ratios would also be helpful in determining the dilation factor
  

Pros

• Provides link to more transformation resources

Cons

• Does not provide a worksheet and only provides one simplistic problem to solve
