In this worksheet, students draw a triangle at numerous scales using enlargement, and then calculate its area at each scale.
The worksheet is part of a larger unit designed to teach students enlargements and their properties. Students compare, create, and analyse the properties of shapes after enlargement and complete grid enlargements of drawings.
Describe and perform translations, reflections and rotations of shapes, using dynamic geometric software where appropriate; recognise what changes and what remains the same, and identify any symmetries
Apply the enlargement transformation to familiar two dimensional shapes and explore the properties of the resulting image compared with the original
Describe translations, reflections and rotations of two-dimensional shapes. Identify line and rotational symmetries
Apply the enlargement transformation to familiar two dimensional shapes and explore the properties of the resulting image compared with the original
Describes and represents mathematical situations in a variety of ways using mathematical terminology and some conventions
Selects and applies appropriate problem- solving strategies, including the use of digital technologies, in undertaking investigations
Gives a valid reason for supporting one possible solution over another
Manipulates, classifies and draws two-dimensional shapes, including equilateral, isosceles and scalene triangles, and describes their properties
Visualises, sketches and constructs three-dimensional objects, including prisms and pyramids, making connections to two-dimensional representations
