Lesson Plan: Dilation: Negative Scale Factors Mathematics

This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to dilate shapes about a center of dilation by negative scale factors, fractional numbers, and whole numbers and describe dilations.

Objectives

Students will be able to

  • dilate a shape about a center of dilation by a negative scale factor (integer or fraction),
  • determine the center of dilation and its scale factor given a shape and its image by the dilation.

Prerequisites

Students should already be familiar with

  • dilations by positive scale factors.

Exclusions

Students will not cover

  • combination of transformations.
