TEKS objectives: Use an algebraic representation to explain the effect of a given positive rational scale
factor applied to two-dimensional figures on a coordinate plane with the origin as the center of dilation.
Lesson objectives: Students use transformational geometry to represent algebraically the effect of a scale
factor applied to two-dimensional figures on a coordinate plane with the origin as the center of dilation.
Materials: Projector, graph paper, geo boards, geometric shapes, notebook, activity papers
Introduction:
Motivating the Lesson: Have you ever drawn a picture or diagram, and then enlarged it to, for example,
paint a mural or make a poster? How could you describe and specify such an enlargement using the
language of mathematics?
An enlargement is when something has been made larger. If you increase the size of a photo on your
computer, you have enlarged it.
A reduction is when something has been made smaller. In a dollhouse, the furniture is reduced to scale
so that it resembles actual furniture but is small.
Questioning Strategies:
Each line segment in the image is three times longer than the corresponding line segment in the
preimage.
Before you do any calculation, how can you predict the size of the dilated image?
Since the scale factor is 3, the image will be larger than the pre-image, and the lengths of the sides
will be 3 times the lengths of the sides for the pre-image.
Describe how you can check graphically that you have drawn the image triangle correctly.
Draw segments from the center of dilation through the vertices of the pre-image to make sure they
pass through the image vertices. Then check the length of 1 side of the image.

Reflection:
How can you describe the effect of a dilation on coordinates using an algebraic representation?
Sample answer: For scale factor k, the algebraic representation of the dilation, with center at the
origin, is (x, y) (kx, ky).
A dilation of (x, y) (kx, ky) when 0 < k < 1 has what effect on the figure? What is the effect on the
figure when k > 1?
When k is between 0 and 1, the dilation is a reduction by the scale factor k. When k is greater than 1,
the dilation is an enlargement by the scale factor k.
Describe the mathematical notation used to write the algebraic representation of a dilation.
It begins with the ordered pair (x, y) and then has an arrow pointing right to another ordered pair that
shows both x and y multiplied by the scale factor.
Modifications/Differentiated Instruction:
Modeling and Cooperative Learning:
Students work in pairs with geoboards to demonstrate various dilations. Rubber bands make effective
models for stretching and shrinking. Students create the figures in the following Example 1 as well as
Exercise 2. Having one partner call out the coordinates of a figure and the other construct the figure on
the geoboard. Then giving them a scale factor for a dilation of the figure, and asking them to demonstrate
it on the geoboard.
Evaluation:
Example 1: Graph the image of ABC after a dilation with the origin as its center and a scale factor of 3.
What are the vertices of the image?
Step1: Multiply each coordinate of the vertices of ABC by 3 to find the vertices of the dilated image.
ABC (x, y) (3x, 3y) ABC
The vertices of the dilated image are A(3, 3), B(9, 3), and C(3, 9).
Step 2: Graph the dilated image.
Example 2: Graph the image of XYZ after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/ 3 and the origin as its
center. Then write an algebraic rule to describe the dilation.
(x, y) (x/3, y/3)
Closure:
