Instructional Ideas
- Show scholars how to use a graphic organizer to record new vocabulary, notation, and diagrams
- Use graph paper to create the dilations and use the distance formula or Pythagorean Theorem to verify lengths
Classroom Considerations
- Pupils need rulers and protractors
- The second lesson in a 36-part series
Pros
- Uses a real-life example to illustrate the application of dilations
- The lesson carefully connects the process to the properties of a dilation
Cons
- None
