Match My Dilation

Students apply dilations to polygons on a grid and explore the impact of scale factors between `0` and `1`. Students will discover additional evidence that dilations map line segments to line segments, and hence, polygons to polygons.

Learning goals: Learning Goals • Apply dilations to figures on a grid. • Describe how scale factors greater than `1`, between `0` and `1`, or equal to `1` affect the size of an image, its angle measures, and its distance from the center of dilation. Materials • Geometry toolkits
