Description
Geometric Dilations: No-Prep Notes
This no-prep resource is a great way to introduce students to dilations for the first time! Included is a two sets of three-panel printables of scaffolded notes and examples, perfect for a guided lesson on geometric dilations, as well as a teacher guide and set of completed notes. The student printables are formatted with the intended use in an interactive composition toolkit/notebook, where the page is folded in half and glued in to the notebook, however it can be easily used regardless of whether you are building one of these in your classroom.
The notes cover the definition of a dilation, finding scale factors given a pre-image and image on a graph, and performing dilations on a coordinate grid given a scale factor and pre-image or set of coordinate points. The first set of notes focuses only on these things for dilations about the origin. The second set of notes extends the lesson to cover dilations where center of dilation is a point other than the origin. The second set of notes is a great extension of the lesson for higher level students!
This lesson is intended for students that have worked with figures/points on a coordinate grid before, as part of a unit on geometric transformations. The lesson notes and practice examples only cover dilations, so students do not need prior knowledge of other transformations such as translations, rotations, or reflections in order to understand how this works.
