Wrapping Up Dilations

Today, we reviewed the Growing Designs activity, and determined that when you try to enlarge the size of an object, the area of the new object increases by the square of the enlargement factor. For example, if you double the size of your picture, the area will increase by 4 (two squared).

Students were challenged to create their own design on grid paper to verify this discovery.

Tonight's Homework: Finish your initial enlargement, if you did not complete it in class today.
