Geometry Grid Drawing and Scale Drawing Project

In this project, students will practice their drawing skills by being given a grid that is superimposed over a drawing.

They will enlarge the drawing by looking at each square in the grid and redrawing just that portion on the corresponding square on the larger grid. (For example the students might find square 1D in the small grid. Then they draw exactly what is there in square 1D of the large grid.)

Students that say they CAN’T DRAW will see that if they focus on one part of the picture at a time, they actually CAN DRAW!

This is an excellent geometry activity for students to learn about scale drawing and similarity.

This activity can be set up for differentiated learners, as some of the drawings are much easier than others. There are ten choices for pictures that students can enlarge.
