Middle School Math Center: Similar figures using dilations on a graph and table
Description
Your students will practice hands on graphing with 4 different figures, rectangle, triangle, pentagon, trapezoid, plus a fill in the blank graph so you are able to make your own figure.
I have also included a fill in the blank graph and table so you are able to use it as a assessment or exit ticket for your class. you may also use the fill in the blank graph for guided notes or whole class examples. Answer key is included.

Example of directions: Plot the following coordinates for Rectangle STUV on the grid below. Dilate the image by a scale factor of 2 . Plot the new coordinates on the grid and label S’T’U’V’. List the dilated coordinates in the table below.
TASK CARD: Dilate Me!
Generate similar figures using dilations including enlargements and reductions.
Your task is to:
• Draw the original image given, dilate the image by the specified scale factor, and list the new coordinates for the dilated image.
• Turn in to your teacher when done.
